EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and wash drawing with gouache border, entitled "Design for a Christmas Card," dates back to the late 1890s and was created by an unknown artist at the Silver Studio. The captivating scene depicts a lively gathering of frogs around a crystal-clear lily pond, engrossed in their festive meal. The frogs, dressed in holiday attire, are seen sitting on lily pads, sipping from silver cups adorned with intricate patterns, while others cover themselves with mistletoe and holly leaves for added warmth and decoration. The tranquil water surface reflects the vibrant colors of the surrounding winter landscape, complete with snow-covered trees and red berries. The Victorian-inspired border, featuring delicate leaf patterns and a festive Christmas motif, frames the image perfectly. The heavy paper adds to the overall elegance and richness of the design. This charming Christmas card design, with its unique blend of nature, whimsy, and holiday spirit, would have made a delightful addition to any Victorian-era Christmas card collection. The use of pen, wash, and gouache techniques adds to the intricacy and detail of the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of the 1890s.
