About this work

This drawing shows a folded piece of cloth with bright flowers and geometric shapes. The edges have blue lines and small black dots forming patterns. Inside, there are rows of flowers in pink, yellow, and green, mixed with little diamond shapes. The design looks like it’s meant for sewing. The paper is old and has some writing in the corner.
