About this work

This drawing shows two diamond shapes filled with bright flowers and leaves. The edges have a row of tiny dots like beads, and the background is plain with a few scattered flowers. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and blues—and the lines are careful but simple. The writing at the bottom is hard to read, but it looks like instructions for embroidery. The paper is old and a little yellow, like it’s been kept for a long time. If you like this kind of detailed floral art, look up filigree next.
