Study for a Border Design

Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

The image contains a design comprised of a curved rectangle decorated with geometric shapes resembling a zigzag pattern. The central straight line runs vertically through the design. Overlapping layers of geometric forms mimic the structure of a fern or a feather. A repetitive pattern of elongated ovals on either side of the central line creates a motif similar to leaves or scales. The design blends abstract and organic elements, set against a background of light blue shading contrasting with the earthy tones of the central design.
