Pagoda Flowers and Roses

Jean-Baptiste Pillement

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several broad fern-like leaves, clusters of berries, and a thin branched line connecting them. The color palette consists of grayscale tones with hints of reddish-brown. The fern-like patterns emerge from the top left and top center, descending diagonally to the right. In the center, there is a distinct sprig of fern set in a V shape. Smaller floral designs are visible in the bottom right and left corners, and there is a singular insect floating closer to the left edge.
