This intricate black-and-white woodcut illustrates a Renaissance-era idealized garden, complete with a multi-tiered fountain as its centerpiece, surrounded by palm and conifer trees, trellised vines, and raised wicker-edged beds. To the right, a sheltered apiary holds several skeps (traditional beehives), while a bearded gardener in wide-brimmed hat tends irises and leafy crops. Birds fly overhead, reinforcing the harmony between cultivation and nature.
