About this work

This drawing shows three curved strips of fabric or embroidery patterns. Each strip is decorated with bright flowers, birds, and vines in reds, blues, greens, and yellows. The edges have rows of tiny purple dots, and the corners feature big, colorful blossoms with long stems. The artist used simple lines and flat colors to fill the space, almost like a puzzle. The patterns repeat in a way that looks like they could be stitched onto clothing. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
