Composition avec bouquet de fleurs, guirlandes et frises de feuilles et de fleurs stylisées, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This drawing shows a pale yellow paper with a border of flowers and leaves. The shapes are simple but detailed—roses, berries, and green vines fill the edges in soft pinks, greens, and browns. The lines are thin and precise, outlining each petal and stem neatly. The paper looks old, with small tears and stains along the edges. It’s clearly a design meant for sewing, like a pattern for embroidery on a vest. If you like this kind of floral art, look up filigree next.
