Brendekilde — Anemone Pickers in a Beech Forest (Art Postcard)

Three women pause in a beech forest clearing carpeted with white wood anemones. In the foreground, a girl in a red polka-dot headscarf and pink apron holds a small gathered bunch of flowers, looking down; two women move among the trees behind her.

The forest is still mostly bare — russet leaves underfoot, grey-silver trunks catching diffused spring light — the brief window of the anemone carpet that H. A. Brendekilde returned to throughout his career. A tender pick for a figurative or folk-art postcard collection.
