This anonymous 18th-century drawing, from a larger album of jewelry designs, depicts a pair of detailed jewelry designs. The first design is a floral motif, possibly for a brooch or pendant, featuring a large blossom and several smaller ones amidst leaves and a knotted ribbon, rendered with fine lines. The second design showcases a hanging pendant, likely for earrings, with a central structure adorned with a bow and floral accents and dangling rows of pearls or gemstones. This intricate pen and ink drawing exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details of 18th-century jewelry design.
