Ornament with a Peacock

Jean-Jacques Avril I after Jean-Baptiste Pillement

National Gallery of Art

The image showcases swirling intricate lines and ornate shapes that form an abstract pattern. At the center, there is a bird-like form reminiscent of a peacock with a long tail. Around it, the lines create a design resembling flowing foliage or feathery plumes. The overall composition evokes a sense of organic fluidity, with the shapes suggesting vines or branches in a stylized manner. The image has a baroque decorative design that merges abstract elements with naturalistic forms.
