About this work

This drawing shows a light tan background with three diamond shapes connected by thin lines. Inside each shape are pink roses, green leaves, and clusters of small blue flowers. The edges of the diamonds have zigzag patterns filled with tiny dots, and the corners have small floral sprigs. The writing at the bottom is in French and looks like a poem or description. The paper is slightly yellowed and worn, suggesting it’s old. If you like this kind of detailed floral design, look up cross-hatching.
