Arabesque with a Double Parasol is a 1795 ink by Anne Allen, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a fancy garden scene with tiny people and chairs. The trees are twisted and covered in flowers. Two parasols—one orange, one blue—block the sun. Birds sit on branches, and ribbons hang everywhere. The artist used lots of colors on paper to make it look like a dreamy place. Tiny details like bells and lace add to the fancy feel.
