History of Roman Ornament Gouache on Board Student Painting c. 1918

This gouache on board comes from a portfolio of student work by a Rachel S. Roberts, c. 1918--and there is another showcasing Greek ornament, listed separately.  This one is a little beaten up and the architectural details at the bottom not as exciting as the figures and gold and light blue painted objects on the upper half, but that sandal with the face at the top of the laces alone makes me love it! 

12" x 18". Tearing to the face of the board in the upper right corner and some wear and staining along the corners and edges.
