Victorian Heart-Shaped Portrait Card with Pink Flowers

The inexplicable decision to cross a gold horn and pink feather-tipped arrow behind her head like some kind of floral military insignia sets the tone for this Victorian valentine, where a woman in a teal puff-sleeved dress gazes wistfully into the middle distance, deeply unbothered by the man who sent this card. Framed within a gold heart like a Renaissance portrait of someone's most tedious aunt, Cupid's weapons appear to have the aesthetic of a New Orleans jazz funeral as they erupt from a cascade of pink blossoms that are frankly doing most of the heavy lifting here. The whole ensemble is further adorned with a dangling red heart charm on a pink ribbon bow, because whoever designed this absolutely refused to let subtlety within a ten-foot radius. It's aggressively romantic in the way only the Victorians could manage: technically inoffensive, yet somehow the visual equivalent of someone breathing directly onto your face.
