Kate Greenaway, a renowned English illustrator, designed this repeating pattern of stylized figures and floral motifs, created for furnishing fabric, c. 1880 - 1890. The design is a testament to Greenaway's signature style, popular during the Victorian era for its charming and whimsical nature. The delicate lines and simple shapes of the figures and flowers create a sense of innocence and playfulness. "Panel (Furnishing Fabric)" is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, and is an excellent example of Greenaway's enduring influence on the textile industry.
