"Valentine" (1874) by Kate Greenaway, a renowned English illustrator, is a charming example of Victorian era art. The intricate design, typical of Greenaway's work, features a delicate floral border framing a scene of nature with a bird, butterfly, and a mouse, all set against a background of a poem. The fine details and whimsical depiction of nature, coupled with the sweet sentiments of the poem, make this work a delightful example of Greenaway's distinctive style, popular for its romantic and nostalgic charm.
