Jenny Nyström — Toddler and the Hen on Her Nest

A blonde toddler in a green dress leans forward to nuzzle a black hen sitting contentedly on a nest of white eggs — the hen entirely unperturbed, the child entirely sincere. Nyström plays the scene with complete affection: this is a farmyard observed through the eyes of a two-year-old for whom a hen is simply something to love. The oval vignette keeps it intimate and charming. From the Jenny Nyström collection — a card for animal lovers, farmyard collectors, and anyone drawn to the uninhibited tenderness of very small children.
