About this work

This drawing shows a woman sitting under a tree by a pond, holding a book and a fan. Above her, a small cherub floats in the air, holding a garland of flowers. The scene is framed by bright flowers, vines, and birds, all painted in soft colors. The top strip looks like a pattern for embroidery, showing flowers and leaves in a repeating design. This suggests the drawing might be for decorating fabric. Next, look up embroidery to see how these kinds of designs were used in real clothing.
