Depicting Alice jumping rope in a long fluttering Empire style high waisted dress with her head and hands represented as floral bouquets with her magical jump-rope and her symbolic shadow figure next to her.
The dark grid lines on the ivory field creates an impression of vast space to the mountains in the distance.
