Description |
English: Scrolling vines with red and blue flowers, including tulips and carnations, on a cream-colored ground. Emphasis is given to the forms of the flowers by leaving a very narrow white space between the edge of the petals and the outlines. Piece is seamed across center. Lower section shows evidence of a border at the right side.
White cotton, on which a strongly curved vine appears, from which spring various large flowers. The foliage is now blue as the yellow has diappeared. Blossoms in reds, pink: some show details of a gray-violet. Drawing is heavy, bold, emphatic; flowers seen in profile are realistically drawn; naturalistic veining in leaves. Emphasis is given the forms of flowers by a trick of leaving a very narrow white space between the edge of petals and the outlines, which are sometimes red, sometimes brown. Among the flowers the tulip and carnation are identifiable.
Colors: Two shades of red, pink, blue, a gray violet (faded purple), brown and red for outlines. |
