This 19th-century print by Glenisson & Van Genechten depicts a popular Dutch folk figure, Sinterklaas, riding on horseback. The scene is set in a bustling street, with children eagerly awaiting his arrival. Sinterklaas, or Saint Nicholas, is a figure associated with gift-giving and generosity, particularly during the Dutch holiday season. This print is likely from a series of educational or entertaining publications for children in the Netherlands. The vibrant colors and detailed imagery capture the festive spirit of the tradition.
