National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a stylized floral stencil design. The image includes a branch with four flowers and several leaves. The flowers have black centers transitioning into red, scalloped petals. The design features symmetrical composition with two flowers on each side of the stem. Text reads "FROM A WALL STENCIL WINDHAM, MAINE. 1803," indicating the source and origin of the stencil. The overall style reflects early 19th-century American folk art.
