Two fairy children share a kiss on a nest, a sweet and playful detail that sets this scene apart from the gallery's more solemn angel pictures. The title frames it as a New Year greeting, a card-style message of good wishes that was popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when illustrated postcards and greeting cards often used childlike fairies and cherubs to suggest innocence and cheer. Images like this were usually meant to be sent and treasured rather than hung in a formal setting, and their soft, decorative style reflects the fashion for fairy imagery that flourished in that period.
