Ceiling Decoration c. 1940

"Ceiling Decoration" is a watercolor drawing by William Kieckhofel, created around 1940. The drawing features a single ornate, stylized leaf motif rendered in blue-green and gold tones, centered against a pale, pink, architectural background. The details suggest the artist's interest in historical decorative styles, particularly the ornate detail of the Rococo era. Kieckhofel's drawing may have been intended for a design project, but the context is unknown.
