Close-up antic miniature toys on mantelpiece: XVIII-century antic one-legged metal-cast classic edwardian-era miniature tin-toy-neophit-soldier army-figurine with paint peeled off to tin stands with bayonette-rifle stoically at mantelpiece, the papier-mache-made slender tiny ballerina-toy that stays in arabesque position with one led lifted leans trustingly against his shoulder, both looking each other with tender. At top of ballerina's dress there placed ruby heart-glass-sequin. The style is reminiscent of art nouveau painting.

A painting in the style of storybook illustration, depicting a toy soldier and a ballerina, facing each other on a dark brown decorative wooden railing. The soldier, on the left, has a tan uniform, a tall gray hat with a red feather, and cradles a long rifle. He has a prosthetic leg that looks like a metal peg. The ballerina, on the right, wears a white dress with a red jewel heart on her chest, white tights, and pointe shoes, standing in a ballet pose with one leg raised backward. The background features a fantastical landscape with light gray medieval castles and dark gray clouds against a light blue sky. The scene is framed by a decorative arch with ornate brown scrollwork patterns.
