I'm crazy for this sketch by Henri Stephany for the "Roses Stephany" wallpaper manufactured by the Ruhlmann company in 1925.  I love the floating, layered effects of the sketch, drawn loosely and expressively in colored pencil and ink. A printed version of the wallpaper is below,one of likely many variations on the sketch. The wallpaper is fun, but I prefer the sketch.
