Allegory of Spring, or the Young Gardeners
A red chalk drawing on buff paper shows a garden scene of playful children around a tall draped figure beside a pole wreathed in garlands. Figures recline and dance across the foreground, while a river, boats and a balustrade with figures stretch into the distance.
