About this work

This drawing shows three diamond-shaped panels filled with bright flowers and peacock feathers. The colors are soft—pinks, blues, and greens—and the flowers look delicate, almost like embroidery. The edges of each panel are outlined in dark purple, and the background is a faded beige paper. The peacock feathers add a touch of luxury, mixed with simple wildflowers. The handwriting in the corner says *"patron moyen"*, which might hint at who was meant to use this design.
