Composition de bouquets de feuilles en grappes et de fleurs multicolores, semis de fleurs et de feuilles, 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 two folded fabric pieces covered in bright floral patterns. The edges have rows of flowers, leaves, and swirling vines in pink, blue, yellow, and green. The background is plain beige, and the designs look like they’re meant for embroidery. The flowers and leaves are arranged in clusters, with tiny details like buds and stems. The edges have a scalloped trim, and the colors pop against the light fabric. If you like this kind of delicate floral work, look up filigree next.
