Easter Greetings

Description

Easter renewal takes playful form in this charming Victorian-era greeting card, where a young girl cradles an oversized rabbit amid green grass and a crumbling brick wall. The child wears period dress in soft pastels, her curly brown hair adorned as she embraces her companion. A wicker basket filled with colorful Easter eggs rests nearby. Delicate illustration technique brings depth to the composition, while ornamental script proclaims 'Easter Greetings' in elegant cursive in the upper left corner.
