content: A garden scene, with a large trellis wall, with a central niche in the center with a large sculpture of Artemis/Diana on a plinth. The trellis is decorated with pilasters, s-scrolls, rosettes, and finials, with two arched gates on either side of the central niche, with steps leading up to the trellis. Planted pots, sculpted mythological figures on plinths and flowers along the trellis. Below in the foreground is a planted parterre, surrounded by topiary and small trees, with rows of planted trees in Versailles planters on either side. Figures walk around the garden, with a gardener raking the ground in the lower right. The proof is before lettering, with the title inscribed in ink, within the plate, lower center.
