About this work

This drawing shows two folded pieces of fabric covered in bright flowers and leaves. The colors are soft—pinks, blues, whites, and greens—with a purple border framing the shapes. Some flowers look like they’re hanging from branches, while others are scattered across the fabric like a garland. The paper looks old and slightly yellowed, with a few handwritten numbers and the word *"murgene"* in the corner. It’s not a finished painting but more like a sketch for something decorative, maybe for embroidery. If you like floral designs, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
