8 Mother’s Day Illustrations by Kate Greenaway
Today we have a charming collection of Mother’s Day Illustrations by Kate Greenaway for you. Featured below are images by one of my favorite Artists, Kate Greenaway. Catherine (Kate) Greenaway was a Victorian artist and writer, known for her beautiful children’s book illustrations and delightful greeting cards. She had a wondrous ability to create detailed drawings of costumes from the Medieval Era through the 18th century. Our assortment shows happy Mother and Child pictures just in time for your Handmade Mother’s Day Cards or Scrapbook pages!
Mother’s Day Illustrations
Here is the latest addition to this collection. In this charming scene we see a young Mother with her toddler on her lap. The young woman is dressed in all moss green and the child looks to be dressed to go outside. A sweet picture for Mother’s Day!
Featured above is a sweet scene. A young Mother out for a walk with her baby. She’s carrying an umbrella or parasol… I’m not sure if she’s shielding her baby from the sun or ready for rain. Either way she’s prepared!
Above is a Sweet Regency Flower Picking Image! Shown are a Mother and Child taking a walk in the garden amongst tall trees. The little Girl is picking a Bouquet of Flowers! This illustration shows the Mother in a lovely long pink dress with white wrap. The daughter is wearing a white dress with blue bow. Both have straw hats.
Here is another wonderfully Charming Kate Greenaway Image!!! Featured is an enchanting picture of a young Mother with her two daughters and their tiny white Dog! It appears that they are taking a stroll on top of the town Wall. I especially love their darling hats.
Pictured above is a cute Mother with Toddler Image! A young Mother is playing with her child in a rose garden. The Mother sports a notably Grecian hairdo and is wearing a slim pink gown. Her daughter is dressed in white with a flowing blue bow.
Here we have a Lovely Mother’s Day Picture!! This is a poignant, sweet Vintage image of a Mother with her daughter. The little girl appears to have dropped and broken a little clay pot or cup. The child is in tears (poor little thing), and her Mother is consoling her. They are in front of a green painted picket fence surrounding a garden. The Mother is wearing a blue dress and the daughter light gold. Their straw hats have ribbons.
This is a simple and captivating Vintage Mother’s Day Illustration showing a delicate image of a Mother with her two Children. They are taking a walk in a Garden on a perfect Spring Day. If you look closely you can see a mama Cat with her Kitten sitting on the Garden Wall! Mother is carrying her infant and has an arm around her small daughter. I love the Mother’s curly red hair.
Shown above is an enchanting Vintage Mother and Children Garden Image!! It is a sweet Vintage image of a Mother with her two little children –a boy and girl. The family is standing in front of a wooden fence in a delightful Garden area. This illustration shows off Victorian fashion exquisitely! I adore the son’s pink jumpsuit and the daughter’s green coat.

Karen my dear, this is an illustration by Kate Greenaway. I LOVE her illustrations. Your image here comes from her book “Language of Flowers”. I’m fairly certain there is no copy right infringement in using her illustrations. I just wanted you to know the wealth of vintage images her body of work provides.
Karen Watson says
Hi Denise, Yes, I did credit Kate Greenaway in the description above, I think you must have missed it! She is one of my favorite artists! I will be sharing more images from her books each Saturday, so stop back to see more of them. I have 2 of her books in my collection. I scan mine at a much higher resolution than Gutenberg does, and they get cleaned up too, so hopefully you will find them useful for your projects. 🙂 I’m glad to know there is another Greenaway fan her besides myself!!
Denise Leavens says
Oops! My bad. I now see your reference to Kate in your description. So sorry. I hate it when readers do what I did! Now I have more grace toward those that don’t read fully or don’t retain what they see. I find myself doing this so much lately as I care for my parents since they were both diagnosed as having cancer within a week of each other. That was 3 months ago. 2 surgeries, chemo, scans and ongoing treatment has exhausted us all. I always look to your daily offerings to take my mind to different, more enjoyable, places during my “me time” each day. So, in all humility I thank you for all that you do in providing such excellent images for free! You are much appreciated.

Hi Karen
Just thought you would like to know that there seems to be a kink on your site. Using my email notification, and clicking on the “Graphics Fairy” header, I can not access anything after March 27th. This is how I have always gone to your most recent posts from my email notifications.
Once on your site, even hitting “Home” will not allow me past March 27th. Only clicking on the blog post title for each post from my email, will allow me to access your most recent posts. If it makes a difference, I use Firefox for my browser.
Thanks. Your images are so wonderful, and you do so much work for us, it would be a shame if others are missing your posts.
Karen Watson says
Hi Marcie,
I think it might be a problem with your cache. Try clearing out your cache and see if that fixes it for you. I tried clicking on the email, but I couldn’t duplicate the problem that you are having. Let me know if that works!!
Marcie Rhys says
Thanks Karen
Like most computer problems, this one is fixed without any action on my part. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the comment, and I will keep your advice to use on another occasion. Your efforts are great appreciated.
