Drawing, Textile Design: Japonisme

We have 2 images of Drawing, Textile Design: Japonisme .

Watercolor and pencil drawing of a floral pattern. The pattern consists of nine large, white, realistic, radially symmetrical flowers, on a blue background with golden brown stems and leaves and four identical, evenly spaced, stylized, round, brown medallions containing smaller white flowers that look like simplified cherry blossom. While the large flowers and leaves look realistic, the veins on some of the leaves are stylized with geometric patterns formed by a continuous line that remind of a Greek key pattern. The large flowers have five large white petals each, with brown nectar guides and a complex, circular structure in the center so that stigma and stamens are not clearly visible. The drawing is on a square with wider lateral margins. In the center of the drawing, there is a subtly penciled 50x50 grid of identical squares, numbered 1 to 50 along each of the four sides and in the middle of the grid. The pattern is such that it can be repeated, like in a block print, because the lines at opposite margins match and complete each other.
