Vintage Easter Offering Greeting Card with Children & Dove

What exactly is the boy doing launching that white dove directly at the viewer's face in the name of Easter celebration? Two Dutch-costumed children — a boy in puffy orange knickerbockers and wooden clogs who is enthusiastically releasing a white dove into the air, and a girl in a traditional white cap and apron clutching a basket of pink flowers — are apparently commemorating Christ's resurrection by aggressively projecting the Holy Spirit toward someone's face. The purple Art Nouveau window frame behind them features a windmill in the distance, because nothing says 'Christ is risen' like aggressive regional tourism branding. The girl's expression radiates the quiet judgment of someone who knows she's the only one holding anything of actual value, while the boy seems shocked that the dove is actually leaving — perhaps a metaphor for every relationship he'll ever have.
