What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

Behold a depiction of a serene waterscape, consisting of a couple of blooming lotuses, their petals wide-spread and enveloping the centers abundant in stamens and pistils. These flowers float gracefully upon the water, surrounded by their large and sturdy leaves, which also float and overlap in parts, creating a layered tapestry of green.In this tranquil aquatic garden, dainty fishes, resembling what you might know as goldfish, swim leisurely. They are captured mid-swim with slight curves in their bodies, indicating motion. Above and around these elements, droplets of water suspend, adding a touch of the glistening spray one might experience near a bubbling stream or fountain.This scene, crafted purely in contours without the infusion of color, stands ready for one to imbue it with hues as per one’s choosing—a practice much like the illuminations done in your scriptoriums, though this is rendered on paper meant for such artistic endeavors.To a denizen of the 15th century, this tableau reflects the art of nature—crafted by the hands of an observant artist—capturing the simple beauty and tranquility of a floral water garden, a delightful representation of God''s creation intending to soothe the spirit or serve as a meditative aid.
