介绍（中）	安娜·玛丽亚·加思韦特（Anna Maria Garthwaite）在17世纪20年代中期开始设计丝绸，当时她30多岁。目前还不知道她是如何学会丝织设计艺术的，但她对材料的有效运用，更重要的是她优雅的设计表明她对自己的工艺有着透彻的理解。她的家人认识了那个时期的几位博物学家，这可能解释了她作品中所见的花卉的巧妙渲染她在1720年代至1756年间创作的许多设计都保存在伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆的藏品中，包括这条丝绸的原始设计图以及另一个纺织品本身的例子。Garthwaite现存的大多数图纸上都标注了设计日期，此外还有技术注释，有时甚至还有设计出售给的织工的名字。纸上图案的颜色通常是编织的。但在这种情况下，织工稍微改变了配色方案，并在背景中添加了纹理这一设计是那个时期英国服饰丝绸的典型：多余的花朵喷洒在白色背景上，支撑花朵的树枝在织物的宽度上来回弯曲。各种类型的花朵从其上绽放出来的截枝的出现可能是对18世纪洛可可风格中中国风的一种致敬。
介绍（英）	Anna Maria Garthwaite began designing silks in the mid-1720s, when she was in her thirties. It is not known how she learned the art of designing for silk weaving, but her efficient use of materials and, more importantly her graceful designs show that she thoroughly understood her craft. Her family was acquainted with several naturalists of the period, which may account for the skilled rendering of flowers seen in her work. Many of the designs she produced from the 1720s through 1756 have been preserved in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, including the original design drawing for this silk along with another example of the textile itself. Most of Garthwaite's extant drawings are annotated with the date of the design, in addition to technical notes and sometimes even the name of the weaver to whom the design was sold. The colors of the design on paper are generally those that were woven. But in this case, the weaver changed the color scheme slightly and added a texture to the background. This design is typical of English dress silks of the period: the spare sprays of flowers are set on a white background, and the branch supporting the flowers meanders back and forth across the width of the fabric. The appearance of the truncated branch from which various types of flowers bloom may be a nod to the chinoiserie trend in the eighteenth-century Rococo style.
