Sidewall (France)
This is a sidewall. It was manufactured by André Groult. It is dated 1925–30 and we acquired it in 1945. Its medium is block printed on paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
The lone female figure standing in contrapposto alludes to antique statuary, while the draped garlands and the delicate balancing of the figure on the floral swag draw from eighteenth-century neoclassical wallpapers. The fresh colors and minimal nature of the design speaks to the 1920s.
It is credited Gift of Jones and Erwin, Inc..
