"Santa Claus" is an illustration created in 1907 by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English illustrator known for his fantastical and detailed drawings. This image depicts a whimsical, almost otherworldly Santa Claus figure, cloaked in red and black, bearing a heavy sack of gifts and surrounded by small, shadowy figures. Rackham's unique style, characterized by intricate linework and a blend of realism and fantasy, brings a distinctive vision to the traditional Christmas figure.
