About this work

This drawing shows three folded fabric pieces with bright flowers and leaves. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and purples—painted in careful lines. The edges have a dark border, and the paper looks old and yellowed. The flowers fill every corner, like someone picked them fresh. The design looks like it could be for embroidery or a pattern book.
