English: Scene in a formal, walled garden with topiary in the shape of phalluses; at centre, a gardener, whose breeches do not quite meet in the middle, standing at the top of a ladder, clipping one of the bushes; two young women holding parasols and with their skirts about their waists, one lying on the grass, the other standing, look up at the gardener and touch themselves; beyond at left, behind two phalluses growing in flowerpots, a couple engaged in intercourse on a park bench; at right, a nude male statue on a pedestal decorated with a bacchic bas-relief; inner walled garden seen at right.

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
