This is a drawing of a rectangular pattern. The central focus of the image is a rectangle positioned slightly off-center, which contains an intricate design of floral and geometric motifs. The patterns inside the rectangle are drawn in a reddish hue and display a symmetrical arrangement, divided into three sections. The outer sections are more intricate and densely packed with swirling floral designs, while the middle section consists of more spaced-out, delicate floral elements. Surrounding this central design is a plain, light background. At the bottom of the image, there's text that reads "Westchester County," along with what appears to be the name "Edmond Wilson." The overall composition suggests a focus on ornamental design.
