Sheet of Studies of Garden 1781 - 1788

This is a sheet of studies of a garden by Claude Jean-Baptiste Hoin, a French artist known for his landscape drawings. The artwork features a variety of sketches including a couple standing in front of a classical building, a garden scene with a fountain, a group of people in a garden, and a small cottage. The artist used a combination of pen and ink and watercolor to capture the details of the garden and the figures. This work is considered to be an important example of the artist's skill in depicting nature and architecture in a very natural manner. The sheet of studies gives us a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the beauty of the natural world.
