Design for a Decorative Panel is a 1873 oil by Alfred Stevens, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a decorative panel design with a central white rectangle. The rectangle is surrounded by ornate details, including two faces at the top, two faces at the bottom, and two globes on either side. The background is black, and the entire design is framed by a gold border. The design is intricate, with many small details that catch the eye. The faces at the top and bottom are identical, with their eyes closed and their heads tilted back. The globes on either side are also identical, with a series of lines and shapes etched into their surfaces. This painting is a great example of Alfred Stevens' work, and it's worth checking out more of his pieces at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Alfred Émile Léopold Stevens (11 May 1823 – 24 August 1906) was a Belgian painter, known for his paintings of elegant modern women.
