Floral and Berry Wreath

c. 1855

Adolphe Braun

Associated Names

Adolphe Braun

Artist, French, 1812 - 1877

The image shows a floral wreath made up of various large flowers and leaves, including dahlias, chrysanthemums, and clusters of small blossoms arranged in a circular formation. The color palette is monochromatic, possibly sepia-toned, creating a vintage aesthetic. The floral arrangement fills most of the frame, with the flowers arranged evenly in a circle, against a solid, untextured background.
