To display a set of nine color etchings, first exhibited in 1899, Roussel created two etched frame designs to cover wide wood moldings. The Stag and Flower Pattern Frame has an eclectic combination of design elements, while the Lotus Pattern Frame incorporates Egyptian motifs. The two etched frame designs were printed in distinct color combinations to complement specific color prints. The Stag and Flower frame segments are related to—but not the same as—two of those color variants.
