National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a forest scene with figures collecting plants. The image shows several figures in a forest setting, with a foreground figure picking flowers or herbs. The detailed line work depicts the textures of the foliage, trees, and grass. In the background, other figures are also gathering plants. The dense line work and naturalistic depiction suggest movement and life within the scene, blending the figures with their environment.
