Jenny Nyström – New Year Allegory Baby Hourglass Postcard

A young woman in a winter coat cradles a plump baby — the Swedish symbol of the year just born — who holds a small red hourglass as snowflakes drift around them. Jenny Nyström's New Year allegory draws on a Scandinavian tradition of greeting the year with images of hope, renewal, and the gentle passing of time. The hourglass is the gift; the fur-wrapped baby, purity of beginning. A meaningful piece for a New Year card exchange, a collectible for fans of Swedish illustration, or a thoughtful seasonal greeting. Browse the Jenny Nyström collection.
