Description
Against a serene pastoral landscape, an elegant woman in a crimson dress and elaborate red feathered hat emerges unexpectedly from a giant cracked white eggshell, parasol in hand. Two cherubic putti with wings flank the egg below, while the verdant grass hosts brown rabbits and yellow chicks among Easter imagery—including a pink Easter egg near a rabbit. The decorative text 'Advent of Easter' appears in ornate lettering in the upper right corner, completing this charming Edwardian-era greeting.
