Study for a Border Design

Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

The image displays a symmetrical arrangement of elongated leaves on a brown stem, accompanied by clusters of round berries. The color palette includes soft greens, beiges, light browns, and subtle blush pinks against a beige background. The leaves are painted in a vertical orientation, emanating from the central stem, with the berries positioned adjacent to some leaves. A decorative wave pattern runs along the right side of the image, with a similar color scheme harmonizing with the main botanical motif.
