Designs for Embroidery 1800 - 1900

This anonymous watercolor drawing from the 18th or 19th century, entitled *Designs for Embroidery*, displays four designs for embroidery, each consisting of different floral patterns. The artist created these designs using watercolor on paper. These designs likely influenced the creation of hand-crafted embroidery and textile design throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this small and delicate artwork.
