Henry Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a circular design featuring five stylized plant-like forms with elongated leaves, radiating outward from a central base, accompanied by the numbers "1832" and the initials "J+H". The color palette consists of earthy tones such as browns, greens, and tans, with some patches of blue and red. The round design is centrally placed on a beige background. The leaves form outward arcs from a stem that extends from the bottom, reaching towards the edges of the circle. The numbers and initials are located amid the branches, with the "1832" towards the upper center and "J+H" towards the lower part inside the circular frame.
