Jenny Nyström — Toddler and Canary in an Art Nouveau Cage, Postcard

A toddler with curly brown hair stands before a decorative blue and gold Art Nouveau birdcage, one finger raised to the mouth in that particular gesture of wide-eyed wonder. Inside: a brilliant yellow canary. The Art Nouveau border framing the composition makes this the most decoratively distinctive card in Nyström's collection — an indoor, intimate portrait at the crossing of childhood wonder, fine illustration, and the domestic pleasure of a songbird. From the Jenny Nyström collection — for Art Nouveau collectors, bird lovers, and those drawn to the quieter marvels of home.
