1879
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Christmas at Little-Peopleton Manor is a 1879 watercolor by Kate Greenaway, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman stands sideways, holding a green fan in one hand. She wears a pink dress with lace trim and a wide, striped brown skirt. Her hat has a big bow on top and a veil tucked under the brim. The dress sleeves are puffy, and her shoes are simple. A few pink ribbons lie on the ground near her feet. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to keep things light and airy. The fan’s shape stands out against the flowing fabric. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this style.
The illustration "For the Dance (no. 5)" by Kate Greenaway, created in 1879, depicts a scene from the story "Christmas at Little-Peopleton Manor." It is part of a series of illustrations accompanying the narrative.
