Ah, what a charming and tender portrait of the dear old couple! Santa Claus, in his soft red coat and sturdy brown boots, stands reading a letter, perhaps a child’s list of hopeful wishes, his magnificent white beard tucked over his chest. His expression is one of kindly concentration.
Beside him is his sweet wife, Mrs. Claus, dressed in a pleasing pale blue frock and bonnet, carrying her market baskets overflowing with simple country things and a little sprig of holly. Their clothes have the loose, comfortable look of those who spend much time working in a garden or a cozy kitchen. The whole scene is painted in gentle, soft watercolours, with the muted tones that make one feel warm and nostalgic for a quiet, snow-dusted Christmas long ago.
