A rustic, trellised walkway forms an open tunnel featuring thin logs and surrounded by lush greenery. Vines and leaves drape from the top of the trellis, and on either side of the wide walkway are bright green grasses and bushes punctuated with tree trunks. Rays of sunlight stream through the gaps, contrasting the shade. Wide, horizontal planks form a gray pathway, alternating with the visible soil underlayer beneath the trellis. A vibrant white light punctuates the vanishing point at the center of the image.

A bird's-eye view of a formal garden, in dark ink on yellowed paper. Above the design reads 'Berseaux couvers de charmier.' A high rectangular wall of trimmed hedges encloses an interior hedge. For the shape of the inner hedge, imagine an X, then trace around it, curving the line at the intersection and ends of the X. The hedges are pierced with arched tunnels to allow two paths, one horizontal and one vertical, to meet in a fountain court in the center of the garden. The fountain is encircled with eight arched arbors sheltering benches; curving beds of plants and potted topiaries lead out to smaller fountains that sit inside the ends of the X. Below the design, at left, 'D. Marot fec:'. At right, 'avec Privilegie. 11'. At the top of the page is a detail of another garden design with curving plant beds and potted topiaries. The plants are depicted with delicate detail, and squiggling lines suggest the texture of the hedges.
