This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Versailles, specifically its magnificent gardens. The image showcases a scene from the late 17th century, where workers are diligently planting trees in ornate planters within the sprawling grounds of Versailles.

The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. From the meticulously designed planter boxes to the lush foliage surrounding them, every element exudes elegance and precision. The worker depicted here embodies dedication and expertise as he carefully tends to each tree with utmost care.
