Composition florale en bouquets et bandes de gazon, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This image shows a piece of paper with a floral design. The design is made up of three sections, each with a different arrangement of flowers and leaves. The flowers are painted in shades of pink, purple, and yellow, with green leaves and stems. The design appears to be a plan for embroidery, with notes and measurements written in the margins. The paper is yellowed and worn, with tears and creases visible. The style of the design suggests that it may have been created in the 18th century.
