About this work

This painting is a small, rectangular panel with a red background and a gold border. The main feature is a stylized plant motif, depicted in gold and black, with curved stems and leaves. The plant motif is symmetrical, with two identical halves on either side of a central axis. The stems are thick and curved, with leaves that are shaped like teardrops or feathers. The gold paint is applied in a thick, textured layer, giving the motif a raised, three-dimensional appearance. The painting is a beautiful example of decorative art from an unknown period.
