The scene is beautifully captured by Charles Edmund Brock, showcasing his talent for evoking warmth and tranquility through art. A young girl named Griselda lies peacefully in her bed, surrounded by exquisite furnishings that exude elegance and charm. As she prepares for bedtime, her nursemaid tenderly offers her a glass of elderberry wine, providing solace and comfort before slumber takes over. The soft colors used in this color lithograph create an inviting atmosphere within the room. The delicate details of the furniture and textiles add to the overall sense of coziness, making it easy to imagine oneself nestled under those covers.

As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel a sense of serenity wash over us – reminding us all that sometimes even the smallest gestures can
