About this postcard
A young woman in profile, her hair swept up in a soft pompadour, wears an off-shoulder white gown with a jeweled band on the sleeve and long white gloves. She holds a pink rose while a small fluffy kitten with a blue bow plays at the lower left. The scene is quiet and gently playful. The pompadour and off-shoulder gown place the figure in the Edwardian era, when sentimental images of women with flowers and pets were a common subject for commercial art. The picture presents an idealized femininity rather than a specific sitter or event.
