The plate contains three ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of thin, interlacing branches, colored with blue, with stylized leaves, rendered with a green and blue chevron pattern, and semi-abstract roses, executed with purple, blue, white, and orange, over a light brown background with C-curves executed in a darker shade of brown. The second design is made up of alternating stylized trees with undulating branches, executed with brown, foliage executed with shades of green, and small, round, semi-abstract fruits, colored with blue, on a white ground with pink dots. The third design is made up of alternating window frames of brown color, holding ornamental vases, colored with white and outlined with brown and green, in front if a natural landscape with a green tree under a blue sky with white clouds, on a dark green background with brown interlacing branches with leaves and small, green dots, and blue dots.
