About this work

This is a faded sketch of two fabric patterns. One shows big clusters of flowers in pink, purple, and yellow. The other has smaller flowers scattered across a greenish background. The edges are framed by thin black lines, and there’s a side strip with a single vine of flowers. The words on the page are in French and seem to describe the design. The paper looks old and worn, like it’s been handled a lot. If you like this kind of detailed flower work, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
