Garden Stroll — Alfred Stevens Collection Postcard

Two women walk arm-in-arm along a garden path in front of a whitewashed country house, one in blue silk florals with a straw hat and fringed parasol, the other in tiered white lace carrying a basket of pink roses. The lawn is wide and green, the borders in full bloom, the shuttered windows suggesting a quiet summer retreat outside Paris.

This card is catalogued from the Alfred Stevens collection at Zolota Ptakha, attributed to the artist though the signature invites some caution — we note that honestly rather than overstate it. Either way, the scene captures the unhurried companionship of a country garden visit, a subject genre painters often revisited in the 1870s and 80s. Printed on 350 g/m² cardstock, it works as a garden-themed gift, a postcrossing card about a summer walk, or a companion to the wider Alfred Stevens collection.
