Christmas 1900
Watercolor on Paper. 1974.59.19

Anna Lindner painted hundreds of watercolors, all filled with love and affection for her immediate surroundings. Stricken with polio as a child, Anna was cripple and confined to a wheelchair. As a result, Anna’s paintings depicted only events that occurred in her home or what she could see from her window or porch. Anna often recorded the families Christmases.
