About this work
Aesthetic style design. Neo-Rococo pattern with five motifs of bunches of flowers arranged jigsaw-like; bunches alternatively tied at their base by ribbons with bow knots, hanging from a looped ribbon, or sprouting from an odd, chinoiserie horseshoe-shaped jewelry-like form; flow of growth is both upward and downward; naturalistic coloring and shading with light blue, red, and cream predominantly used on the flowers, light blue on the ribbons, and light blue, red, and tan on the jewelry forms; white ground.
