Valentine 1876

"Valentine" is a charming illustration created by Kate Greenaway in 1876, and currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Greenaway, renowned for her depiction of children in idyllic settings, presents two young girls in a meadow, sharing a tender moment. Their elaborate dresses and the surrounding foliage create a picturesque scene that captures the innocence and beauty of youth. The delicate lace border adds a touch of elegance to this charming piece, typical of Greenaway's illustrations.
