Ethel Parkinson Pushing Skating Sweetheart Tudor
A Romantic Skate on the Frozen River,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ethel Parkinson, 1905 In this enchanting turn-of-the-century scene, a young boy in a Tudor-inspired costume glides effortlessly across the icy surface of a tranquil river, pushing a beautiful sweetheart in an ornate ice carriage before him. The snow-covered landscape surrounding the riverbank is dotted with evergreen trees and quaint cottages, adding to the idyllic winter wonderland atmosphere. The boy, dressed in a velvet tunic and breeches, wears a fur-trimmed hat and holds a long, curved ice skate in one hand. His sweetheart, bundled up in a fur-lined cloak and wearing a flowing gown, gazes up at him with a look of adoration and excitement. The ice carriage, adorned with intricate carvings and draped in furs, is pulled along by the boy's strong, determined strides. The artist, Ethel Parkinson, masterfully captures the essence of romance and adventure in this charming postcard image. Her use of soft, muted colors and delicate brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time. The scene is reminiscent of classic winter tales and fairy tales, where love and wonder abound in the midst of a magical winter wonderland. This beautiful postcard, created by Ethel Parkinson in 1905, is a testament to the enduring power of love and the joy of sharing special moments with those we hold dear. It is a reminder that even in the coldest, darkest of times, the warmth of love can light up our world and bring us closer together.
