This drawing shows a group of four people under a pine tree by a stream. One person is handing something to a woman in a pink dress, while another stands with a basket. Bright birds and flowers fill the background, and the whole scene is framed by a border of vines and leaves. The top of the drawing looks like a pattern for embroidery, showing birds and trees in a repeating design. This suggests the picture might be both a scene and a sample for sewing. Next, look up embroidery to see how these kinds of patterns were used in clothing.
