Drawing of a roof garden. The image is angled up toward the ceiling, so that the well-dressed patrons at the bottom of the image are mostly seen from the shoulders up. The men wear tuxedos and the women ball gowns. The walls have large, vertically-rectangular windows that extend from floor to ceiling. A floral pattern with dark green background and curvacious pink, orange, and red plants extends from the top of the walls all the way onto the ceiling. Two rows of windows extend the length of the ceiling, from one side of the room to another. A row of the aforementioned floral pattern extends across the middle of the ceiling, separating the two rows of windows.
