Jeanne by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Jeanne by P. Buckley Moss is a 2008 Limited, Numbered Lithograph Edition from the P. Buckley Moss One Girl Collection, and P. Buckley Moss Girl Name Collection.

In Jeanne, Moss captures a sweet and peaceful moment as a young girl sits gently on a delicately woven swing. Her posture is relaxed, her legs crossed softly, as she cradles a small basket in her lap—suggesting a quiet activity like gathering flowers or holding treasured items. A small black cat rests nearby, adding a touch of companionship and warmth to the scene.

The swing itself, intricately woven and suspended in midair, creates a sense of lightness and calm, as if Jeanne is gently swaying in a quiet corner of her world. The simplicity of the setting allows the viewer to focus on Jeanne’s gentle expression and the intimate, peaceful nature of the moment.

Jeanne’s blue checkered dress adds a charming visual texture, while the woven swing showcases Moss’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. The minimal background enhances the sense of openness and tranquility, allowing the subject to feel both grounded and dreamlike.

The addition of the small cat provides a playful contrast and a sense of life within the otherwise serene composition.
