This hand-colored woodcut print by Glenisson & Zonen, created between 1856 and 1900, depicts Sint Nicolaes (the Dutch version of Santa Claus) riding a horse through a town square. The scene is likely set on December 6th, when Sint Nicolaes traditionally visits the Netherlands. This particular image is part of a larger series of children's prints that Glenisson & Zonen produced, and it features a poem that explains the significance of the holiday. The vibrant colors and playful depiction of the saint make this a delightful and popular image among children and collectors.
