This delicate engraving by Herbert K. Bourne, after a painting by John Callcott Horsley, depicts a serene and contemplative scene within a convent. A young novice nun sits quietly in a courtyard, thoughtfully arranging flowers with a gentle smile and a sense of inner peace. Her downcast eyes and composed demeanor suggest quiet devotion and reflection. Behind her, other nuns are seen walking or conversing beneath the arches of the cloister, enhancing the sense of spiritual calm and order. The gentle lighting and symbolic presence of a white dove reinforce themes of purity, commitment, and the solemn beauty of religious life.
