Sample book
The Sample book by artist contains four identical floral patterns, each on a different colored background. The top left pattern is on a dark blue background; the top right is on a black background; the bottom left is on a brown background; and the bottom right is on a blue background. Each pattern features large red tulips, white and pink flowers, small blue flowers, green leaves, and yellow blossoms. The patterns are printed on aged paper with a grid drawn on it in pencil and are arranged in two rows of two. The paper is off-white and yellowed with age, and visible along the sides of the pages are horizontal and vertical lines. The sample book is open, with the left and right pages facing upwards. The background behind the sample book is white.
