The Orangery in the Botanical Garden, Geneva

Adjoining the modest garden behind Jean-Gabriel Eynard's mansion in Geneva was a public botanical garden that included rose beds, a vineyard, and an elaborate greenhouse that housed tender plants like orange trees. In summer, the plants were lined up in precise rows in front of the greenhouse. Eynard himself sits on a bench at the left, barely visible as he reads a book. Also nearly hidden, a gardener in a smock stands at the right with his garden shears pointed down, ready for work.
