Apron c. 1936

"Apron" is a detailed design drawing for a woman's apron by American artist Lillian Causey (1855-1995). The drawing features a delicate, intricate pattern of flowers and leaves. Executed in pen and ink, the design is framed by a border of swirling, vine-like patterns. The detail of the embroidery design provides a glimpse into the intricate world of decorative arts from the 1930s. Causey's work is notable for its fine lines and delicate rendering.
