Composition avec bouquet de fleurs, guirlandes stylisées avec rubans bleus et grappes de fruits suspendues, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This is a flat drawing of a floral design. The background is plain. Around the edges, there are flowers, leaves, and vines in bright colors—pink, blue, green, and yellow. Some fruits hang from the vines. The shapes are simple but filled with tiny dots and lines. The drawing looks like a pattern for embroidery. The flowers and vines are arranged in a border, almost like a frame. Want to see how this kind of design was used? Look up filigree.
