This anonymous 18th-century paste paper design features a dynamic composition of swirling and overlapping patterns in shades of red, purple, yellow, and green. The artist, likely an amateur, created the design by applying colored paste to a sheet of paper. The result is a vibrant and visually appealing work, showcasing the beauty of a simple yet effective technique. The piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
