Brief Description

A decorative frieze with a central oval medallion, draped blue fabric, and garlands of colorful flowers

Detailed Description

This horizontal rectangular artwork depicts an ornate decorative frieze, primarily in shades of blue, pink, green, and gold on a light cream background. At the center, a large oval medallion features a dark purple interior framed by a gold border. Within the medallion, a monochromatic grey scene shows a large basket overflowing with grapes, a smaller basket, a ladder, and various tools or vessels, all surrounded by foliage. Above the central medallion, a swag of teal fabric with gold fringed edges is draped across the top, adorned with lush garlands of pink roses, white and purple flowers, and green leaves. The teal fabric also drapes vertically down both the left and right sides of the composition, similarly edged with gold fringe. Below the central medallion, elaborate scrolling acanthus leaves in blue, pink, and green extend symmetrically outwards. From these scrolls, multiple swags of teal beads hang, interspersed with delicate ribbons and smaller floral elements. The cream background is further embellished with scattered floral sprays and scrolling vines. A light blue border runs along the very bottom edge of the design. At the bottom left, the inscription "Nº 120. Dessins de Draperies et autres Ornemens." is visible.
