Brendekilde — Girls Picking Spring Flowers by a Birch (Art Postcard)

A small toddler in a pale pink dress stands clutching a bouquet of white wood anemones, her expression careful and absorbed. Beside her, seated at the root of a birch tree, an older girl in blue gathers a large bunch of yellow primroses. Fresh green leaves and dappled sunlight fill the spring forest around them, the birch bark pale against the shadows. Signed lower right by Brendekilde.

One of the artist's best-loved subjects — pick this one for a card about childhood, or for the first flowers of the year.
