About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a light dress standing near a tree, handing a branch to a small winged boy. The garden around them has bright flowers, a palm tree, and a fence in the background. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and purples—with a clean white border framing the scene. The woman looks like she’s picking flowers, while the boy reaches up eagerly. This was likely made as a design for embroidered fabric, judging by the title. Next, look up embroidery to see how this kind of floral art was used in real clothing.
