Eleventh plate of the fourth series of pochoir pattern books, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs: Motifs inédits pour toutes Industries d'Art" (Studio of Decorative Arts: Novel Motifs for all Art Industries, with Art Deco textile designs created by Hennequin-Rêveur and published in Paris by Armand Guérinet, probably in the second half of the 1920s or the early 1930s. The series consists of a title page with index and 12 plates with designs numbered 1-12, each with numerous designs, bound with dark blue linen boards. The designs contain a variety of geometric motifs, birds and flowers, all typical of the Art Deco style, which was characterized by its eclecticism, drawing from a variety of sources that sought to combine old European design traditions with the modern style diffused by avant-garde art, while also reflecting the romantic fascination with early Egyptian and Meso-American "exotic" cultures promoted by archaeological discoveries of the times.

This plate consists of four designs with semi-abstract geometric motifs. The first design is made up of rows of white motifs with yellow eyes over an abstract bacgkround with triangles, rectangles and other geometric shapes colored with green, blue, purple, red, black and white. The second design is made up of an aquamarine ground with a grid executed with green and black above which stand out vertical stripes made up of black triangles, some lined, some checked, and some decorated with yellow dots, and horizontal zig-zagging stripes made up of red and purple abstract motifs. The third design is made up of overlapping fragments of circles colored with light blue and ourlined with black over an abstract pattern with black, yellow, red and purple lines, dots and other shapes. The fourth design is made up of vertical undulating lines colored with purple, yellow, black and blue over a maroon ground with vertical red lines.
