EDITORS COMMENTS
A Holiday Visit - Ethel Parkinson, 1906 In this charming turn-of-the-century image by English artist Ethel Parkinson, a mother and her young child approach their neighbor's door, each carrying a basket laden with Christmas gifts. The mother, dressed in a long, warm coat and a festive hat adorned with holly and ivy, offers a warm smile to the viewer, while her curious child peeks out from behind her, clutching a small parcel. The door, framed by evergreen wreaths and garlands, awaits their knock. The scene exudes the spirit of the holiday season, with its focus on family, community, and the exchange of gifts. The mother's determined expression and the child's excitement suggest the anticipation and joy that comes with delivering presents to loved ones. The use of natural colors and soft lighting adds to the cozy, inviting atmosphere, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. Ethel Parkinson (1868-1942) was a prolific British artist known for her watercolors and illustrations, which often depicted rural and domestic scenes. Her work was published in various magazines and books, and she exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Watercolor Painters. This particular image, with its heartwarming depiction of the holiday season, remains a beloved classic in the annals of Christmas art.
