"Chintz" is a watercolor design by Erwin Stenzel, created in 1936. The design features a repeating pattern of stylized flowers and leaves, a popular motif in decorative arts. Stenzel’s meticulous rendering of the floral elements in a watercolor wash showcases the intricate details of the pattern, making it ideal for reproduction on textiles.
