This drawing shows bright flowers arranged in a border around a rectangle. The main cluster has blue, pink, and yellow blooms with green leaves. On the left, a single stem climbs up with small flowers and buds. The colors are flat and clear, like a colored pencil sketch. The rectangle in the middle looks like a design for embroidery—maybe for a pocket or small fabric piece. The flowers are grouped neatly, as if copied from nature to decorate something. If you like this kind of floral art, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more historical embroidery designs.
