✅ Stylistic Features Matching Rae Bright:
1. Flattened, graphic presentation – Rae Bright often used strong, graphic stylization with simplified facial features, much like the woman depicted on your box.
2. Narrative symbolism – The dove with a letter, the sun with a rose, and castle-like structures are consistent with Rae Bright’s whimsical storytelling elements.
3. Bold use of color and pattern – The highly decorative surfaces, contrasting textures (e.g., stipples, scales, waves, and mosaic patterns), and primary color palette are hallmarks of her mixed media and painted wooden pieces.
4. Medium and format – Rae Bright is known for working on small painted wooden boxes and panels, often integrating mixed folk elements with personal iconography. This piece seems to align with that exact medium.
