Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Cadeau de Noël »

“Christmas gift” shows a little angel in a snowy wood offering apples to a pair of rabbits.

What the picture shows

The angel girl sits barefoot on a snow-covered rock: fair wavy hair, a wreath of holly on her head and large golden-white wings behind her. She holds a red apple and stretches it towards two rabbits peering out from under a fir branch on the left. On the right a wicker basket full of red apples stands in the snow, with a few apples fallen beside it. All around are snow-laden fir branches and a winter forest in a bluish haze. Coverage is partial: beads go on the dress, wings, snow on the branches, basket and apples, while the face, hands, rabbits and distant forest stay printed on the canvas. The scene is built on warm against cool: white-and-gold wings and red apples set against bluish snow and dark needles. The angel sits exactly at the centre, with the rabbits and the basket balancing her on either side.
