Design for an Overdoor Painting and Two Wall Panels

Arthur B. Davies

ca. 1900–1910 · Black and white crayon, gouache · Drawings and Prints

Design or preparatory study for the decoration of a room. In the center a painting of two female figures is placed over the top of a door frame. The woman on the right has red hair in contrast to the rest of the painting which appears to be executed in grisaille. To the left and right two vertical panels are added which are filled with a colorful pattern of semi-abstract floral motifs.
