Queen Summer, or the Tourney of the Lily and the Rose

About this work

This drawing shows three tall figures standing in a garden. The person on the left wears a red, flowing dress with a leafy belt, holding a staff topped with a flower. The person in the middle holds a small hourglass-like object, surrounded by vines and flowers. The figure on the right wears a pale blue dress and holds a staff with a sunburst at the top. The text above reads *"Round Time’s dial thronged the Hours, Masking in the Masque of Flowers."* The garden around them is filled with stylized leaves and flowers, giving it a dreamy, decorative look.
