First, enjoy the texture of Alice Barber Stephens sketch!
Alice Barber Stephens usually focused on more urban or formal setting for her women, but the charming sketch above of a woman in her garden breaks the pattern.
It is the only garden work theme I found in her works online....not even a snipping flowers for a bouquet sketch!
