Composition avec guirlandes de fleurs et feuilles en grappes, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Floral filigree
This drawing shows a piece of fabric covered in flowers and leaves. The edges have a scalloped shape with a border of tiny stitches. Bright pink, red, and purple flowers mix with green vines and yellow buds. It looks like a pattern for embroidery—maybe for a vest or a dress. The small dots and lines in the background might be how the artist planned the stitches. If you like this, look up stippling to see how artists use dots to create shading.
