Everything here is arranged around one vertical line. A stone fountain stands in the middle, built as two shallow dishes on a turned pedestal with a round ball finial on top, and it is the tallest thing in the picture.

Around its base sits a broad oval basin, and the wall of that basin is drawn as a clipped hedge covered in short flick marks that suggest close cut foliage. Behind it a low straight hedge runs right across the width of the page.

Four cone shaped topiary trees stand in a row beyond that hedge, two to the left of the fountain and two to the right, each one textured with the same short marks and set on a small trunk.

Two rectangular hedge blocks come forward into the bottom corners, and beyond each of them a loose clump of flowers softens the edge with petals and leaves.

The upper third is left as plain white sky. That emptiness suits a mirrored design like this one, because it means the matching halves can be shaded to agree with each other without anything competing for attention overhead. Picking one shade for every clipped surface and a second for the stonework is the quickest way to make the symmetry read.
