Sgraffito is a decorative technique used in the visual arts, where layers of plaster, paint, or glaze are applied to a surface and then scratched away to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting color. The term "sgraffito" is derived from the Italian word "sgraffiare," meaning "to scratch," and the technique has been employed since ancient times, notably in classical and Renaissance art, as well as in the folk traditions of Europe and Africa.

One notable application of the sgraffito technique can be found in the illustration from "Esquisses Decoratives" by the French architect and designer René Binet (1866–1911). Published in 1902, "Esquisses Decoratives" is a compendium of Binet's designs and architectural concepts, which were heavily influenced by natural forms and structures. Binet's work is often associated with the Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized curvilinear designs and organic motifs.

The specific illustration in question showcases Binet's use of sgraffito to create intricate patterns and textures that mimic natural elements. His designs often blend the structural principles of natural organisms with the aesthetic sensibilities of Art Nouveau, resulting in decorative panels, architectural elements, and ornamental objects that are both functional and artistically significant.

René Binet's sgraffito illustration in "Esquisses Decoratives" exemplifies his innovative approach to design and decoration, and it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the sgraffito technique in the realm of artistic expression. The work not only highlights Binet's individual style but also provides insight into the broader trends of the time, where the interplay between art, nature, and emerging modernist sensibilities was being explored in new and exciting ways.
