Description: A delightful painting of three bunnies
eating, yes, plenty of buns! I love her ingenious use of lettering which
spells out the message "A Merry Christmas and Plenty of Buns." And
liking good puns the way I do, I also love the play on words (buns like
you eat and "buns" as a short form of "bunnies"). Beatrix Potter
normally signed her works with her three initials in a lower corner, but
she continued her playful use of lettering in this particular painting
and placed them on the key tag instead, which I find quite charming.
On
the inside, there is a border repeat of the delft blue crockery design
and more rabbits from an unpublished 1899 Beatrix Potter pen-and-ink
drawing.
