About this work

This drawing shows two triangular shapes filled with bright flowers and tiny blue shapes. The edges are outlined in black and dotted with purple circles. Delicate vines connect the flowers, and a few butterflies flutter among the blooms. The colors pop against the faded paper, making the flowers look fresh. This was likely a design for embroidery on a vest in the 1700s. Want to see more like this? Check out the Museum of Ethnography.
