Theodore Roussel. Design for a Frame. 1899–1908. England. Pen and brush and black ink, with graphite and traces of white gouache on semi-transparent yellowish brown wove paper This particularly bold design for a wide frame molding was conceived, drawn, and even initialed by the artist, but never produced. Roussel also created two variant emblems for the blank cartouche at top center—a cluster of silhouetted flowers resembling anemones, in black, and a salamander before a rising sun, rendered in colors that include metallic pigment.
