Christmas card by Claire Avery is a 1950 by Claire Avery, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Claire Avery made this Christmas card early in the 1900s. It’s a print, so each card shows the same image in a small batch. Avery spent her days drawing dancers, especially Adeline Genée, a famous ballerina. Avery first showed Genée’s graceful poses in 1909. A newspaper said her sketches caught the dancer’s fast moves and elegant charm. Check out Claire Avery’s other dancer drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
