About this work

Eight pointed oval fields are bordered by fine arches of weeping willow twigs. On these fields is always a bouquet of three nodding flowers. A paraplu leaf narrows the fields and continues in a horseshoe-shaped shell with a large rose and oak leaves. This horseshoe is formed by a five-fold band, among others with circles, which runs through the inside of an intermediate shell. This smaller shell shows a fan of oak leaves and a fan of godrons, with a border of three flowers, namely a rose between two marguerites. The oak leaves are kept half in shadow. Point de gaze de Bruxelles.
