Stencilled Wall

Ray Holden

National Gallery of Art

This image is a painting of a floral pattern design. It features a rectangular section outlined by decorative borders. Within the borders, three stylized floral motifs are scattered across the open space. Each flower arrangement consists of abstract, colorful petals and leaves in shades of pink and green. At the top, there is an additional border with a repeating leaf pattern interspersed with stylized arches, resembling a design draft possibly for a textile or wallpaper, in the style of a decorative arts pattern from the early 20th century.
