This drawing shows a repeating pattern of circles and swirls. Inside each circle are clusters of flowers—some white, some pink, some red—with green leaves. The background is dark green, and the swirls between circles are a warm brown, almost like a frame. The flowers aren’t all the same, but they’re arranged neatly in groups. The artist used clean lines and soft colors to make it look balanced. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this kind of detailed drawing.
