Jenny Nyström – Couple by a Birch Tree at the Lake, Postcard

A young man in a dark suit and straw boater points at something on a birch tree trunk; his companion in a cream Edwardian dress leans close to look, holding a small bunch of blue cornflowers. Behind them, a blue rowing boat is moored at the lake's edge. Attributed to Jenny Nyström, this gentle watercolour scene captures the closeness and shared curiosity of summer — a moment of attention in birch-and-water country. A warm send for friendship or an anniversary, or a summery addition to the Jenny Nyström collection.
