content: Design for a painted porcelain plate, rondel. Enclosed yard of a farmhouse. At right, a figure of a woman holding a basket of berries in her right hand points with her left hand to a mulberry bush. In center, three children sit on the ground eating berries under the watchful eye of an elder woman. Behind them to the left, a man balances a tray of berry containers on his head. In the left foreground, a seated woman appears to be sifting sugar into a vessel, while a small child leans on her shoulder. In the distance is a grove of trees.
