![This sidewall has a bright pattern on a cerulean blue background. The pattern is comrprised of circular wreaths and a figure standing in the middle of them, holding up draping gold garland that is interconnected in arches throughout the design. The circular wreaths are also interconnected and are made of simple shapes and shades of color: dark green, light green, blue, and orange to create foliage and leaves. The unclothed figure is comprised of similar, simple shapes and colors: long strands of yellow hair, green leafy crown on head, and cream complexion and orange highlight and outline. The figure stands with one knee bent and arms outstretched, looking upward and head tilted on one side, hair falling down in front of their toso. In their hands is the golden garland that drapes downward in front of their legs in large U shapes. Throughout the whole composition, the repeated figure motif alternates and is arranged diagonally from each other. The bottom of the piece is informational text in yellow cornflower ink, sandwiched between two lines of the same color. The words read [Andre Groult A Paris] and include circular company logo on either side: two circles with abstract lines in the center, looking like a simple bouquet of three flowers in a vase, made of no more than seven lines.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/40979_e97dfe2f861c51f9_n.jpg "Object ID #18572631")
