Ziet bisschop Sint Niklaas, ô kindren hier te paard! / Hy was goed kinds, goed arms, en blyft den lof dus waard, / Die gy hem toezingt, om zyn gunsten te bekomen / Mits dat gy vlytig leert, of moogt kastyding schromen 1806 - 1830

This 19th-century print by A. Robyn depicts Saint Nicholas riding a horse through a town square. The scene is framed by buildings and a crowd of children gathered to witness the arrival of the saint. The detailed engraving showcases a popular figure in Dutch folklore, Saint Nicholas, and serves as a visual representation of the religious and cultural significance of the saint. The title and accompanying poem highlight the importance of learning and good behavior. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the Dutch people during the early 19th century.
