Drawing, Design for Garden Featuring Octagonal Fountain with Sculpture, Flanked by Hemispherical Trellises

A horizontal rectangle drawing done in graphite, black ink and white on yellowed tracing paper. The view is from the front slightly above with the light coming from the right front side. In the bottom/front is the view over the top of the front wall with an opening which leads to an open area with a half dome lattice niche on either side each enclosing a sculpture. Beyond is an octagonal wall with vertical details with an opening leading to a circular fountain with a human form sculpture in the center. There are two benches against the back wall and three additional openings around the wall. Outside of the octagonal wall are four tall conical trees and a walkway around Bothe sides and the back before a taller wall enclosing the entire garden. The black lines and brush strokes behind this outer wall appear to illustrate tall trees and bushes creating a feeling of privacy. The entire drawing is bordered by a heavy line of black ink.
