Figure descriptions
A man stands against the trunk of a tree and plays a harp. His lips are parted and
he appears to be singing. He wears a
sheathed sword on his hip. A second man sits on the ground at his right side, and
four women sit at his left. The woman closest to
the forefront of the illustration looks down at an open book that lies on the ground
next to her; she turns the page with her left
hand and holds a mirror in her lap with her right hand. The other three women look
toward the man who is playing the harp. One of
these women holds a flower up to her face. The ground on which the figures are sitting
is slanted and covered in grass. There are
multiple trees in the background. Full-page illustration.
Flowers and their stems form a border around the poem and title letterpress. Some
parts of the border extend into the poem
space; in these sections, the letterpress is placed around the illustration.
