1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Composition avec trophée de fruits et volatile, guirlandes de fleurs stylisées à noeuds d'épis et de glycine, frises de denticules mauves, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle is a 1750 by Anonyme, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a curved border filled with bright flowers, leaves, and a few small birds. The colors are mostly soft greens, purples, and yellows, with a few red berries scattered around. At the bottom, there’s a row of tiny purple teeth-like shapes and a simple line pattern. The flowers are tied in knots, almost like a garland, and the whole thing looks like it could be a pattern for embroidery. The paper has some writing on it, but it’s faded and hard to read. If you like this kind of detailed floral work, look up cross-hatching next.
A French designer from the 1700s made delicate flower drawings meant to decorate vests.
