This is a study for the sleeve of a uniform for the Order of the Elephant, likely for a portrait of A.G. Moltke. Created by Danish artist C.G. Pilo between 1752 and 1792, the drawing displays an intricate pattern of stylized flowers and a grid-like design in brown ink on a blue wash background. The intricate detail and the use of contrasting colors are characteristic of Pilo's work, showcasing his attention to detail and skill in capturing the elegance of 18th-century fashion. The drawing is a testament to Pilo's talent for design and provides a glimpse into the meticulous planning that went into creating portraits of important figures in Danish society.
