Panel c. 1815

This "Panel" is a fascinating example of early 19th-century wallpaper design. Created by an unknown artist around 1815, the artwork features a repeating pattern of figures and foliage against a pale background. The design includes figures with spears, palm trees, and a scene with a seated figure at a table with a barrel, potentially hinting at a narrative or cultural theme. The fragmented nature of the composition and the use of grey tones contribute to a sense of mystery, inviting viewers to interpret its details and context. This wallpaper, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers insight into the decorative trends and craftsmanship of the period.
