About this work

This drawing shows a woman kneeling by a tree, reaching up toward a small statue of a winged child. The background has a garden with flowers, a fence, and a distant building. Bright colors—pinks, greens, and blues—fill the scene, and the edges have decorative patterns. The empty space at the top might have been for embroidery designs. The woman’s pose and the flowers suggest a connection to nature. Look up embroidery to see how this kind of drawing was used.
