Moss Christmas Goose Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Moss Christmas Goose Artist Proof by P. Buckley Moss is a rare signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from the Moss Christmas Collection. This whimsical holiday artwork features a proud goose adorned with a festive Christmas wreath, complete with bright holly berries and a bold red bow tied neatly at the front.

With its elegant stance and slightly tilted head, the goose exudes personality, bridging Moss’s love for rural life with the warmth of holiday traditions. The simple white background allows the holiday greenery and vibrant ribbon to shine, making the goose both playful and symbolic.

Style & Technique

As a lithograph, this piece beautifully reflects Moss’s mastery of clean lines, graceful form, and whimsical storytelling. The deep tones of the goose’s feathers contrast vividly with the festive greens and reds of the wreath, while Moss’s folk-art style infuses the figure with charm and character.

What sets this edition apart is its Artist Proof (A/P) designation. Artist Proofs are produced in very limited quantities—typically fewer than 10% of an edition—and are traditionally reserved for the artist’s own collection or closest associates. With Moss’s signature and numbering, this piece carries an extra layer of rarity and authenticity.
