DescriptionDescription: This colourful woven textile was shown at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914, which is usually regarded as the end of Jugendstil. The motif depicts a symmetrical ideal landscape with a large tree at its centre surrounded by lush greenery and flowers in bloom and flanked by two smaller trees as pendants on both sides. A floral border frames the motif. The Biblical figures Adam and Eve are, however, noticeably absent.
