Drawing, Design for Embroidery, Corner of Gentleman's Waistcoat, ca. 1785
This is a Drawing. It was style of Jean-Baptiste Pillement. It is dated ca. 1785 and we acquired it in 1906. Its medium is brush and gouache, watercolor on cream laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Jean-Baptiste Pillement was a prolific artist and designer whose inventive landscapes and fanciful floral patterns were widely adapted as designs for textiles and wallpapers. His influence is evident in this design for a floral waistcoat; the heightened expressiveness creates novelty.
