The design features a sword rising from a laurel wreath, surrounded by stylized floral motifs in shades of red, pink, yellow, and gray. This intricate design, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Cachet's skill in creating decorative art. The design likely served as a model for a larger work, possibly a tapestry or textile. The artwork, a study in composition and color, showcases the artistic sensibility of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
