Composition à bouquet de fleurs en éventail et guirlandes de fleurs mauves, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This drawing shows a folded piece of paper with bright floral designs. The edges have blue lines, and inside are clusters of roses, leaves, and smaller flowers in pink, blue, and green. The paper looks old and slightly yellowed, with a few handwritten numbers in the corner. The flowers are arranged in fan shapes and loops, like they’re meant to be stitched or painted onto fabric. The colors pop against the faded background, making the details stand out. If you like this kind of floral art, look up hand fan next—it’s a whole world of delicate designs.
