Description:

A vibrant watercolor, graphite, and gouache drawing documenting a piece of American decorative material culture—specifically, a section of wallpaper used to line a bandbox. Created for the Index of American Design project, this piece features a historical narrative or military scene. The folk art style is characterized by simplified forms, bold colors (pink, olive green, yellow), and a dramatic composition showing soldiers on horseback brandishing swords, with a formation of troops in the background. The drawing is an invaluable record of popular American interior and domestic design from the 19th century.
