Titled simply "Easter," this picture takes the holiday itself as its subject rather than a specific church, town, or event. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus and has long been marked with services, spring gatherings, decorated eggs, and family meals. Many images of the holiday reflect customs that shifted over time, especially after the nineteenth century, when commercial goods such as chocolate eggs and printed greeting cards became widely available. Look closely at the clothing, setting, and props for clues about when the picture was made.
