The artwork titled “The Secret Garden” was crafted by Charles Robinson in 1912. It belongs to the Art Nouveau movement (Modern) and is an illustration from the series “The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1912)”.
The artwork depicts a serene and whimsical garden scene in the classic Art Nouveau style. At the center of the composition, there are three children. One child, donned in a wide-brimmed hat and a yellow shirt, tends to the garden with a small rake. Another child, situated at the top right, sits on a rock, dressed in a light shirt with a large collar and navy blue pants, and appears to be engaging with the other children. The third child, at the top left, wearing a blue dress and a wide-brimmed hat, leans forward, seemingly involved in playful activity. Surrounding the children, the garden is lush with tall flowering plants and delicate, cascading branches adorned with blooming roses. The soft, muted colors and attention to natural detail capture the enchanting essence of a secret, magical garden.
