Schematic Drawing of Buyid Silk (1962.264) is a 1904 by Félix Guichert, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, ornate figure in a dark background. The figure has two large bird heads on its shoulders, a crown, and a long, detailed robe with swirling patterns. At the bottom, a small creature with a curled tail sits near a decorative base. The intricate lines and shadows create a sense of depth and texture, almost like woven fabric. This is a sketch of a historical silk design, not the original cloth. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of their collection.
