Studies for Border Designs

Charles Sprague Pearce

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three wavy lines running horizontally across the page, bordered by abstract leaf-like shapes and clusters resembling berries. The design resembles a decorative vine or stylized floral border, often seen in patterns on textiles or wallpapers. The shapes create a rhythmic effect, connecting like a continuous garland.
