Research in Progress

Length of printed linen with a blue stream winding back and forth through the middle of a densely peopled field. The people include a woman drying herself after swimming while a man peers down at her from a tree, several pairs of lovers dancing, holding hands around a tree, etc., a man talking to a bust on a pedestal, a man fishing, a woman counting daisy petals, a man boating, a woman knitting with wool being held by a pair of hands emerging from the stream, etc., all playfully rendered in a folk art style. In many colors on a black ground.
