Drawing, Design for Embroidery, Gentleman's Waistcoat Pocket, ca. 1785
Designed by Fabrique de Saint Ruf
Nestled between the pocket flap and an outer border of large flower clusters are two vignettes showing a tranquil scene of stone houses and a bridge surrounded by tall trees. This design may have appealed to a gentleman yearning for a quieter life in the country. |
