This print shows a woman sitting in a garden, holding a rose. She wears a loose dress with a high collar and a fancy hat. Behind her, a vase overflows with flowers, and a tree frames the scene. The lines are sharp and detailed, like someone carefully drew every leaf and fold in the fabric. The text below her reads like a poem about finding love in small things. The artist signed it in 1774, and it’s part of a style that focused on feelings and nature. Next, look up *etching, drypoint, aquatint* to see how this print was made.
