Frühling in der Schweiz (Spring in Switzerland), 1945
Artwork by Donald Brun



In French and English, this became "Vacation time" or "Holidays", but in German it was "Springtime".  The level of detail is astonishing, and the lamb... surreal.

I like it! It is really cute. It's definitely a springtime scene to me.

A very svelte lamb.

Personally, I like mine a bit more cuddly, but the difference in style is nice to see.

That lamb's nose is freaking me out.

This picture is adorable -- it reminds me of work by children's book illustrator Eloise Wilkin. I especially love the fancy ribbon of the lamb's collar, including the little white Swiss cross.

Very cute! Interesting that the lamb still has his tail, I've only ever seen hair sheep left undocked.

Awesome illustration, it reminds me of some of my favorite childrens' books.

YES

Also, the lamb was used as cover art much later for the Upsy Daisy Assortment by XTC; which just adds to the awesome.

Yes.

That lamb is so cute! He sort of looks like he has a mohawk. :)

Maybe he's a punk rocker who likes to pogo dance? :)
