Sometimes, as with a Gerard David in London, the garden is very fully depicted; at other times, as in engravings by Martin Schongauer, only a wattle fence and a few sprigs of grass serve to identify the theme.
The fireplaces and walled Medieval herb garden were almost certainly included in the original plans brought from England, and copied faithfully.
