About this work

This drawing shows two wavy branches with flowers and berries. The colors are soft—blues, pinks, greens—and the paper looks old and yellowed. Some flowers are detailed, while others are just small dots or simple shapes. The branches form a loop, almost like a garland. This kind of drawing was meant as a pattern for embroidery on vests. Look up embroidery to see how these designs were turned into real fabric.
