Answer by  ljh (151)

Theorem painting or stenciling is a kind of painting with stencils to create an artistic painting even by someone with little artistic training. The stencils can't have two adjacent areas on the same stencil so each composition will need at least two different stencils to create it. This was very popular with women in the 19th century.
