Not on viewDescriptionThe panels of "The Small Briar Rose Series" function as three stills from one single scene, rather than a narrative sequence. Although the figures' draperies are reminiscent of Classical and Renaissance art, these paintings possess a unique fuzzy atmosphere with muted colors. In this scene, the story's hero arrives to find knights sleeping in full armor surrounded by overgrown briar roses.
