Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Pétales de satin »

“Satin petals” — two large tulips with wavy petals inside a central frame, surrounded by bands of ornament. The picture is warm, built on terracotta and green.

What the picture shows

In the middle, against a pale grey-green ground, the tulips open wide: red, orange and golden petals with fine light veining, broad green leaves and slim stems below. The central rectangle is outlined in violet. Decorative strips run around it — plant scrolls above and below, a berry sprig and rows of small squares on the left, checked and dotted ornament in warm ochre on the right. The beadwork is partial: the tulips, the leaves and all the ornamental strips are beaded, while the marbled ground of the central panel stays as print.
