This drawing shows three folded fabric pieces with bright floral patterns. The flowers are pink, blue, and yellow, mixed with green leaves. The edges have a checkered border in black and white. The paper looks old and yellowed. The design looks like it’s meant for embroidery on a garment, maybe a vest. The flowers are arranged in a repeating pattern, like something you’d stitch onto cloth.
