Breakfast in the Garden Card

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe de Nittis (1846–1884). It shows a family eating breakfast at a formal table in the garden. A woman and young boy are sitting at the table, and there is an empty seat, perhaps where the lady's husband had been sitting. There are ducks and swans walking on the grass in the garden, and the boy is attempting to feed one of the birds with his food. The family is eating from fine porcelain plates and there is white linen on the table. There is also a bouquet of flowers in a vase on the table. The original art was painted by Giuseppe de Nittis in 1883.
