Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Gnome, Rabbits & Spring Garden

The gnome in full red regalia—a bearded fellow who has shown up uninvited with a mysterious sack slung over his shoulder like some kind of Easter mob enforcer—stands as the presiding force over what can only be described as an egg-based underground economy. Two anthropomorphic rabbits, one wearing a fetching blue bow and both bearing the hollow gaze of creatures who have seen too much, lean out of a giant decorative egg-shaped dwelling to hand him a basket of colorful eggs. Meanwhile, a hen and her chicks peck around the base of the egg-house completely unbothered, which raises serious philosophical questions about what exactly the rabbits are handing over and to whom. The cherry blossoms and daffodils in the background are doing their absolute best to distract you from this bizarre transaction and the gnome's pointy hat, which comes with zero explanation for why he exists.
