"Perdita, mistress of the feast, with flowers in her hair and holding a staff in her left hand, giving rosemary and rue to Polixenes, who sits under a large tree to left, wearing a plumed hat and shrouded in a cloak, looking up at her appreciatively, while Florizel, disguised as Doricles, ushers forward his love, a dog beside him to right, with other figures, including a man wearing a sheepskin jacket, kneeling with a basket of fruit to left, the shepherd standing behind Polixenes, a ribbon seller showing a ballad to two young women to right and dancers in the field beyond."--Brit.
