"A Condolence Card" is a paper-cutting artwork created by Emily Wilcox around 1830 and now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection. This delicate piece features an elaborate floral motif reminiscent of Victorian mourning art, with a prominent central flower, stylized foliage, and a heart-shaped element symbolizing love and remembrance. The intricate details of the cut-out design create a sense of depth and elegance, further enhancing its emotional impact.
