About this work

Fragment of silk with an incomplete pattern on a Gros de Tours ground: a bundle of branches with runners bends to the right and has in the middle a cluster of rosette flowers in red, pink, white, and dark red, while the hearts are bright red. Left (cut off), a large flower in yellow, orange-red, pink, dark red, and white. A fine leaf vine in white breaks the empty space of the background. Left, a blue and purple flower (cut off). Selvedge.
