About this work

This drawing shows two diamond-shaped frames filled with bright flowers and leaves. The colors are soft pinks, blues, and greens, with some yellow and red accents. Tiny details like berries and buds add texture, and the edges of the frames are outlined in a thin blue line. The paper looks old and slightly yellowed, with faint pencil marks scattered around. These sketches were likely meant as patterns for embroidery on vests. Next, look up filigree to see how delicate metalwork compares to these floral designs.
