Jenny Nyström – Children Playing in the Garden, 1922 Postcard

A sun-dappled garden scene full of summer play: a girl in a red dress sits in a wooden crate with a fishing rod while a toddler and a small Jack Russell terrier share the same makeshift boat — they are catching imaginary fish in the garden of a red-roofed house. Jenny Nyström's 1922 oil painting turns a child's game into something quietly joyful: no ceremony, no season, just the long unhurried light of summer and a child's imagination. A light postcrossing card, a birthday send for a child, or a collectible from the Jenny Nyström collection.
