About this work

This drawing shows bright flowers and birds in a border around a blank pocket shape. The flowers are painted in soft blues, pinks, and greens, with tiny details like berries and leaves. A small fence and a few birds fly above the pocket area. The pocket design was meant for embroidery—likely for a decorative vest. The artist used watercolors to sketch out patterns someone could stitch later. Look up embroidery to see how these floral designs might have been stitched.
