The Palace Gardens at Nancy shows a beautiful garden scene with women walking and carrying baskets on their heads. This etching is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of what gardens looked like in the 17th century. The details in the garden are also based on real life, as seen in other etchings. You can learn more about the artist who created this scene by looking up Jacques Callot.
