| Reverse description | A richly detailed antiqued scene depicting Santa Claus seated in a classically styled, ornately decorated sleigh laden with toys and gifts. The sleigh is drawn by eight finely modelled reindeer in full gallop across a moonlit, snow-covered landscape. A solitary house is visible in the middle distance beneath a star-filled night sky, with a large full moon providing dramatic backlighting to the composition. The design is executed in high relief with extensive antiqued finishing to enhance depth and contrast. |
