Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

The image shows a central design with large, symmetrical leaf-like shapes arranged in an alternating pattern along a vertical axis against a blue background. The composition is bordered by swirling, wave-like patterns. Overlapping circles are interspersed among the leaves, adding a rhythmic flow to the design.
