Artist/Maker	Joy, Thomas Musgrave (artist)
Place of origin	Britain (painted)

A Garden Scene is typical of Joy's portrait groups involving children and a narrative element. This group perhaps also represents the three ages of woman. However, the painting is not identifiable with any of the titles of exhibited works or those in the artist's studio sale following his death in 1866.
