Sint Nicolaas te paard gezeten, / Laat alle goede kindren weten [(...)] 1831 - 1854

"Sint Nicolaas te paard gezeten, / Laat alle goede kindren weten [...]" is a 19th-century Dutch print by Erve H. Rynders that depicts the iconic figure of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children, on horseback, offering gifts to well-behaved children and holding a rod for those who are not. This print was created in the early to mid 19th century and was likely intended to be used as a Christmas decoration or a gift for children. The use of bright colors and simple imagery makes the print easily accessible to children, and the text surrounding the image serves to reinforce the importance of good behavior during the Christmas season. This print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the traditional depiction of St. Nicholas in Dutch art.
