Ethel Holly Parkinson Snowy Sprig 1907
A Winter's Embrace
EDITORS COMMENTS
Date: 1907 Artist: Ethel Parkinson This enchanting image, titled "A Winter's Embrace," is a beautiful representation of childhood innocence and the magic of the winter season, captured by the skilled brushstrokes of English artist Ethel Parkinson in 1907. The scene unfolds in a serene winter landscape, where a young boy and girl are seen huddled together, their faces filled with delight and wonder, as they admire a sprig of holly amidst the pristine, snow-covered ground. The boy, bundled up in a thick coat and knitted hat, extends a gloved hand to offer the holly branch to his companion, a girl in a red dress and matching bonnet. Her eyes sparkle with joy as she accepts the gift, her rosy cheeks a testament to the crisp winter air. The holly, with its vibrant red berries and glossy green leaves, stands out against the monochromatic backdrop of the snowy scene, symbolizing the enduring spirit of life amidst the frosty stillness. Ethel Parkinson masterfully employs the use of soft, muted colors and delicate brushwork to create a sense of tranquility and warmth in this otherwise frigid setting. The gentle touch of the artist's hand is evident in the delicate details, from the intricate patterns on the boy's coat to the delicate folds of the girl's dress. The overall effect is one of nostalgia and longing for simpler times, when the joys of childhood and the beauty of nature could be found in the most unexpected places. This print, "A Winter's Embrace," is a timeless reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the enchantment of the winter season, as depicted through the talented eyes of Ethel Parkinson in 1907.
