Study for a Border Design

Charles Sprague Pearce, 1890/1897

The image shows an abstract design with a central vertical line and symmetrical, curved leaf-like shapes on each side. Alongside this pattern is a series of small, repetitive wave-like curls forming a border. The abstract shapes resemble stylized branches, evoking natural elements like leaves and vines. The designs are set against a soft blue background.
