Framed Three-Dimensional Paper Tole Botanical Study of an Orchid - A contemporary mixed media work featuring a three-dimensional paper tole or decoupage construction. The central subject is a botanical study of a pink Phalaenopsis orchid with multiple blossoms and two broad green leaves, set within a blue and white chinoiserie-style ceramic pot. The composition is created from layered, cut-paper elements to achieve a relief effect on a cream paper support. To the left of the orchid stem, the text YEAR AFTER YEAR... is printed in a black sans-serif typeface. The work is professionally housed behind glass within a navy blue fabric-textured mat with a black inner fillet, all enclosed in a wide, beveled gold-gilded wooden frame. No artist signature, maker mark, or date is visible on the face of the work.
