Description:

Two young girls in identical green dresses and mobcaps stand side by side in a garden, facing forward with their gaze directed downward as they stamp their feet on the ground, which is scattered with marigolds. This version of the rhyme reads as follows:

Draw a pail of water,
For my lady’s daughter;
My fathers a king, and my mother’s a queen,
My two little sisters are dressed in green,
Stamping grass and parsley,
Marigold leaves and daisies.
One rush! two rush!
Pray thee, fine lady, come under my bush.
