Vintage postcard titled "Playmates" by Italian artist Gaetano Chiericci (1838-1920), originally part of the Vanderbilt Collection. This charming scene depicts children interacting with several sheep and lambs in a rustic indoor setting, rendered with the rich detail characteristic of 19th-century Italian genre painting. The card was produced for the historic Haussner's Restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland, a landmark known for its extensive art collection. The reverse side is unposted and features the Mirro-Krome printing mark by H.S. Crocker Co., Inc.
