Here a plump cherub sits among clusters of forget-me-nots, its small blue flowers set against a soft pink drape that frames the scene like a stage curtain. The pairing of child-like angel and pale flowers is typical of the sentimental imagery popular in the late 1800s, when cherubs were used on greeting cards, devotional pictures and decorative prints. Forget-me-nots carried a long-standing meaning of remembrance and true love, which made them a natural companion for an angel figure meant to suggest tender, faithful thoughts.
