Wall Paper

George Robin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative floral pattern. The central focus is a blue square with a symmetrical floral motif in brownish-gold color, positioned centrally and repeated at each corner. The pattern consists of stylized floral elements arranged in an elegant and balanced manner. Below the square, a small rectangle contains a zoomed-in view of the floral motif with numbered markers. The paper's background remains plain, and there is a label reading "CEILINGS, ROOMS" on the bottom. The design suggests a use in decorative applications like wallpapers or furnishings, with a clear layout to highlight its ornamental potential.
