About this work

This drawing shows a wavy line of flowers and leaves in bright colors—pinks, blues, and greens—arranged like a garland. The background is plain paper with faint pencil sketches of shapes. Some spots are stained or torn, and the edges look worn. The flowers are grouped in clusters, almost like they’re meant to be stitched. The colors are bold but faded in places, as if the paper has aged. If you like this kind of floral design, look up filigree next.
