Comments - Interesting scene of a young sword bearer in a palace garden, crouching on a stepping stone in the middle of a stream. He holds his master's sword upright in his hand as he looks back over his shoulder. Ornate lanterns trimmed with tassels hang overhead, and an intricate railing atop a stone embankment surrounds the water's edge. Nicely detailed.
