The drawing of shawls made by craftsmen in the 1870s-1880s are very manifold and show the great level of professionalism of factory painters. The compositions of kerchiefs in those times were rich, festive or on the contrary light and elegant. In their design along with flower motives there were ornamental ones characteristic of previous epochs: conventionalized twigs, curls, scalloped ribbons in complex turns. As far as flower patterns were concerned garden flowers (first of all roses and dahlias) were mainly preferred.
