Titled simply "Easter," this picture takes the holiday itself as its subject rather than a particular place or person. Easter is the central feast of the Christian year, marking the resurrection of Jesus, and in the United States and Europe its observance has long combined church services with spring customs such as decorated eggs, new clothing, and family gatherings. Pictures on this theme often record those traditions, so they offer a useful view of how the season was observed in the period when the image was made. The smaller domestic details are often where everyday practice shows most clearly.
