About this work

This drawing shows two empty shapes on a yellowed paper. Around the edges are bright flowers, leaves, and berries in blues, reds, and greens. The lines are simple but careful, like someone tracing a pattern. The empty shapes look like they’re meant for embroidery—maybe for a vest or fabric. The flowers and vines fill the borders like a frame, but they’re also part of the design. If you like this kind of floral drawing, look up cross-hatching for another way artists fill space with lines.
