About this work

This image is an etching and engraving of a woman in a garden. She is wearing a dress with a corset and a skirt, and her hair is styled in an updo. The woman is holding a basket of flowers on her head, and there are trees and bushes in the background. The woman's dress is detailed, with folds and creases visible in the fabric. The basket of flowers is also intricately rendered, with individual blooms and leaves visible. The background of the image is simple, with just a few trees and bushes visible. The style of the image is reminiscent of Romanticism, with its emphasis on nature and the beauty of the everyday.
