About this work

This image shows a vintage drawing of two floral designs. The designs are made up of flowers, leaves, and stems, with blue dots forming borders around the edges. The flowers are painted in shades of pink, blue, and yellow, and the leaves are green. The stems are brown and have small buds on them. The background of the drawing is a light beige color, with some darker spots and marks scattered throughout. The drawing appears to be a design for embroidery, possibly for a jacket or other piece of clothing. The use of blue dots as a border is a common motif in embroidery, and the floral designs are reminiscent of traditional folk art.
