Easter Greetings
Description
A woman and an egg share an unusual moment in this charming Victorian Easter greeting card, as an elegant figure emerges from a cracked white shell wearing a decorative hat adorned with feathers and a green corseted dress with pink ruffled sleeves. She holds a thin bare branch aloft with both hands, facing toward the viewer. The card is framed by elaborate gold filigree scrollwork, with clustered pink and red flowers arranged along the lower border. Soft aqua and cream tones dominate the background. The text 'Easter Greetings' is positioned to the right side of the composition.
