The artwork titled “Goody and Mrs. Hackee” was created by Beatrix Potter in 1911. It is representative of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and belongs to the genre of illustration.
The artwork charmingly depicts two squirrels, dressed in human-like attire, in an outdoor setting. One squirrel, dressed in a blue and white dress, appears to be conversing with a larger squirrel in a pink dress and white apron, who stands holding an apron full of what appears to be nuts or other items. The setting features the base of a tree and is surrounded by a soft, pastel-colored natural background, emphasizing the tranquil and enchanting atmosphere characteristic of Potter’s illustrative style. The anthropomorphic portrayal of the squirrels and the delicate detail reflect Potter’s distinctive blend of realism and whimsy in her illustrations.
