Description
A cabbage-woman, the irony of vegetable eros, a dress sewn from nature, a test — does the finest fabric grow in the garden? A green-skinned woman in a gown made of cabbage leaves sits atop a mound of cabbage heads; below left a pale-winged butterfly, above another butterfly hovering, a turquoise sky with a discreet moon.
