Figure descriptions
A woman cradles a lamb under one arm and stands next to a body of water. She holds
one hand up to her mouth and looks across
the water toward a man who is fishing on the opposite bank. The man leans against
the trunk of a tree. A boy lies on the grass
behind the tree and rests his shoulder against the trunk. More trees line the water’s
edge. A wooden fence and additional trees can
be seen in the distance. The trees and the boy are reflected in the calm, clear water.

The sun is centered in a partial square border. Its beams extend outward from the
center, reaching the left, top, and right
edges of the square border. Vines wrap around the border and descend past the left
side. The illustrated initial word from the poem,
“The”, is hand-drawn and superimposed over the sun and vines. 1/32 page.
