This is a charming แกะสลัก of seven chubby male children referred to as putti, that often have wings even though these do not; carrying a very large amount fruit and flowers along a hillside, with a bit of difficulty as some of it falls to the ground in their struggle to get it to the valley below.
Just behind them is cliff with trees and in the distant landscape we can see more trees and a mountain range with clouds overhead.

William was born in London, England on 1746, and began his career as an engraver using the Mezzotint engraving technique that was developed in the 17th century; and which allows for the creation of prints with soft gradations of tone and rich blacks.
The Mezzotint monochrome printmaking process of the intaglio family, was the to produce half tone without using lines or dot based techniques like hatching, cross-hatching or stipple (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzotint).
When using the Mezzotint engraving method he applied it to the creation of caricatures and portraits after the works of British Portrait and Historical Painter Robert Edge Pine (1730 – 1788); และตอนอายุ 21 was awarded a premium by the Society of Arts.
From this point on William began publish his own works and 12 years later would partner up with the Thomas Watson (1750 – 1781); an engraver of both the meaaotint and stipple methods.
Sometime during the early to mid 1790s, William would move to Paris, France where he produced engravings for the new regime and then later for Napoleon.
