About this work

This sketch shows a ceiling painted with flowers and swirls. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and yellows—all mixed together loosely. The lines are light and wobbly, like the artist drew fast or didn’t care about perfection. The painting looks like a quick copy of something bigger.
