Study for a Border Design

Charles Sprague Pearce

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rectangular decorative piece with a central pattern of stylized leaves and berries, flanked by wavy, ribbon-like borders. The color palette includes muted greens, soft pinks, earthy browns, and a subtle gold background with a cream border. The central design is vertically aligned in the middle of the piece, while the borders run parallel on either side. The decorative piece is placed centrally within a larger beige frame.
