Composition de fleurs champêtres en branches et en bouquets, 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 three triangular sections filled with bright flowers and leaves. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and blues—with delicate outlines. Each section has a different plant arrangement, like a garden in small pieces. The paper looks old and yellowed, with a handwritten number in the corner. The flowers are painted carefully, almost like stitches on fabric. If you like this kind of floral art, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more.
