This drawing shows a woman in a fancy purple dress sitting on a grassy hill, holding a fan. Near her, a small child plays with a bow and arrow. Behind them, a fancy garden has a lattice fence, a small pavilion, and lots of flowers—roses and vines climb everywhere. The woman looks like she’s dressed for a special occasion, maybe even a goddess. The garden is full of details, like the tiny bridge and the way the trees hang down. It’s all very neat and colorful. If you like this kind of detailed garden scene, look up embroidery to see how artists turned these drawings into real fabric designs.
