From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Composition de fleurs sauvages, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle is a 1750 by Anonyme, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows two panels filled with bright flowers and leaves. The colors are bold—pinks, blues, yellows—and the plants look like they’re growing wild. One panel has a curved top, the other a straight edge, both framed by a thick black line. The flowers aren’t realistic; they’re stylized, almost like patterns. This might’ve been used as a guide for embroidery on a vest. Look up *cross-hatching* next to see how artists build texture with lines.
