Victorian St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card with Woman at Spinning Wheel

She seems to be contemplating the circular instrument before her with the thousand-yard stare of someone who's been doing this since the famine—barefoot and wearing a green skirt, red headscarf, and black bodice, this young woman sits at what appears to be a small hand drum or tambourine mounted on a stand, clutching a sprig of shamrocks, because apparently the best way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day is with that. The ribbon banner overhead cheerfully announces 'Greeting on St. Patrick's Day' beneath an oversized four-leaf clover, as if the typography itself is trying to distract you from the deeply ambiguous vibe of a woman alone with her mysterious round apparatus. Standing barefoot on what appears to be stone pavement, combined with her intense focus on the drum-thing, gives the whole scene the energy of a folk curse being quietly administered.
