Verde Botanical, Gouache Painting Textile Design, Original 1800 Christian Dior —1940s - 1950s Foard printSummary: Constructed by a series of lines, the colors within this original 20th century hand painted gouache pattern once served as a textile design guide. Weavers would follow the artist's colored framework to translate this pattern into a woven fabric. Among the grid and repeat motif design, you'll notice handwritten dates and notes in French about weave styles, dye colors and even client requests. Flip to the backside for more penciled notes dating
