Study for a Border Design

Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

The image shows a series of curved and linear shapes forming an abstract composition. Green crescent shapes overlap with dark, squared lines and earthy brown curved forms, creating a rhythmic pattern. The shapes intertwine, giving the impression of interlocking gears or sinuous movement, inviting exploration of the abstract connectivity.
