About this work

This drawing shows two people in a garden. One is sitting on a rock, holding a fan and a book, while the other stands nearby playing a flute. Bright flowers and tall plants fill the scene, with a small fence and a tiny building in the background. The border at the top has a repeating pattern of flowers and dots. The top edge looks like a design for embroidery, with rows of flowers and leaves stitched in color. This suggests the drawing might be both a scene and a pattern guide.
