Design Drawing

Louis C. Tiffany

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Design Drawing by Louis C. Tiffany. Watercolor painting on aged paper. The painting depicts a bowl filled with purple fruit and green leaves. The bowl is brown with shades of blue and green on its surface. The bowl is oval shaped with the longer axis horizontal. The bowl's left and right edges are uneven. The background paper is beige with handwritten notes scattered throughout. The notes are written in black ink and appear to be a mix of illegible cursive and printed text. The top-right corner of the paper has 'S 44' written in black ink. The left and right sides of the paper have additional handwritten notes. The notes on the left are mostly illegible. The notes on the right include the numbers '50 inches'. The bottom of the paper is slightly curled. The overall appearance of the paper is aged and worn.
