Corbeaux, bordure au pochoir; cigales et chardons, étoffe imprimée 1897

This artwork, "Corbeaux, bordure au pochoir; cigales et chardons, étoffe imprimée," is a striking example of Art Nouveau textile design created by Maurice Pillard Verneuil in 1897. The intricate pattern features a repeating motif of stylized thistles, leaves, and insects, arranged against a rich backdrop of browns, blues, and yellows. The repeating motif of stylized crows on the left side of the image highlights the artistic use of pattern and repetition common in Art Nouveau.
