Victorian Easter Greetings Card Jesus Shepherd Sheep

Tucked into the soft-focus background, a little red-roofed church sits cheerfully beside some plowed fields, as if to say: yes, this is fine, this is normal Easter content. Because apparently the best way to celebrate 'He is Risen' is Jesus standing barefoot in a field, cradling a lamb with the focused intensity of a man who has just made a Very Important Decision about that lamb specifically. Dressed in flowing pink robes draped with a blue cloak and sporting a golden halo that functions less as divine signifier and more as a fashion statement, the Good Shepherd grips his staff with one hand while his flock mills around behind him with the blank-eyed contentment of creatures who absolutely do not understand the theological implications of this holiday. Nothing about the lamb's expression suggests it knows what metaphor it's starring in.
