About this work

This drawing shows bright flowers in soft colors—yellows, blues, and purples—arranged in three wavy bands. The flowers look hand-painted, with tiny green leaves and stems. The background is plain, letting the colors pop, and the edges of the bands have a dark purple outline. The flowers are simple but lively, like a sketch for embroidery. The paper looks old, with faint marks and numbers written in the corners. If you like this kind of floral art, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
