Figure descriptions
Two women gather in a fenced-in area that adjoins a building. One woman stands and
holds her hand up to her mouth. The second
woman sits and holds onto the first woman’s arm while looking down at the ground.
A cat sits next to her feet. The area in which
they gather is cluttered with potted plants, shelves, a table, and a stool. Flowers
grow around the space and vines climb the
adjacent buildings. A figure looks down upon the two women through a second-story
window. In the background, there is a shop with an
indiscernible sign. A man walks in front of the shop and a figure looks out of the
shop’s entrance. A bird flies in the distance. A
portion of the hand-drawn poem text is placed below the illustration. Two small flowers
are placed alongside the poem text. Full
page.
A man wearing a large cape walks while holding a bird above his head. Two dogs jump
up toward the bird. Multiple other men and
women watch the dogs from a distance. A building stands in the background on the left
side. There is a body of water and a windmill
far in the distance on the right side. 1/2 page.
Flowers with their stems and leaves form a partial border around a portion of the
hand-drawn poem text. They line the left and
bottom edges. Some of the stanzas feature decorated initial letters: there is a “B”
from the word “But” and an “H” from the word
“His”. 1/6 page.
A flower falls toward the bottom of the page. The hand-drawn phrase “(To be continued.)”
appears below the flower; it is
curved to follow the shape of the flower’s stem. Below the falling flower, a nude
figure kneels and prays in front of a statue of an
angel. Flowers grow around the statue and there are two turtles amongst the flowers.
