About this work

On a tight, lying branch grow right-oriented side branches, to which forget-me-nots and three types of cup flowers grow. The sharp zigzag scallops show a double contour, consisting of a leaf and a pearl edge, while on each point a 'bead' is attached. In the field stands a scattered pattern of hanging daisies. Alençon lace.
