Blumenstraussmädchen (Flower Seller)

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She’s holding a big bouquet of flowers in one hand and a single bloom in the other. Her dress has puffy sleeves and a high neckline, and she’s wearing a fancy hairdo with ribbons. The title at the bottom calls her a "flower seller," which fits what she’s doing. The artist used fine lines to show the folds in her clothes and the details of the flowers. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create images like this with just lines.
