The composition displays a dramatic pattern of foliage and berries set against a deep black background. The design reveals gracefully rendered branches adorned with leaves and berries, creating a lively and naturalistic scene that seems to dance across the fabric. The foliage appears in a harmonious palette of colors that pop against the dark backdrop. Delicate leaves emerge in shades of pale yellow and crisp white, while others appear in a cool, muted blue. Clusters of small, round berries in a soft coral hue add a splash of warmth and vibrancy to the composition. The floral and botanical motifs evoke the organic, flowing forms characteristic of Art Nouveau, while the stylized, simplified shapes of the leaves and berries suggest influences from Art Deco. The bold contrast between the dark background and the brightly colored foliage is reminiscent of techniques used in Japanese ukiyo-e prints.
