About this work

This drawing shows a black background with a white embroidery pattern shaped like a pocket. The design includes flowers—purples, pinks, and greens—along with lace-like trim and a small woven band. The edges curve like a folded fabric piece, with tiny stitches marked in white. The pocket shape hints it might be a pattern for clothing, possibly a gilet (a sleeveless vest). The flowers and lace detail suggest it was meant for decorative embroidery work. If you like this kind of detailed craft, look up embroidery.
