Blessed Damozel

A detailed pencil drawing of a woman sitting in a pastoral setting with a wide-brimmed hat, holding a small animal, possibly a cat, in her lap. She is surrounded by various plants, flowers, and wildlife, including rabbits and a basket of eggs. In the background, there is a tree with many birds perched on its branches and rolling hills stretching into the distance. The artwork has a serene and detailed quality, capturing a moment of tranquility in nature.
