Sketch of Saint Gaudens's Statue of Deacon Samuel Chapin, Springfield, Massachusetts

The image depicts a sketch of a rectangular garden with a fountain in the center, surrounded by trees, a low wall and hedges. The fountain has a small pool with a decorative edge. Behind the fountain, there are stairs leading to a platform with a statue of a man. The background features a blue sky. The sketch is drawn in pencil on a yellowed paper with some colored pencil used for the sky. The garden appears to be symmetrical. The artist's rendering style is simple and appears to focus on basic form.
