A print, alternatively described as a woodcut and a linocut. It depicts three standing children, facing the Christmas tree between them. The tree is lit by candles, each of which has a halo of light. At the foot of the tree, a Christian crèche depicts Mary, Joseph, Jesus in the manger, and other figures. One of these figures wears the split hat of a harlequin, or Joker. The smallest of the children holds a similar harlequin doll in her hand. On the floor is a toy ball. The print is dated and its creator identified. The copy owned by Museum of Fine Art Houston is signed in pencil (cropped out of this image). The copy owned by Victoria & Albert Museum has a pencil "note" on it. To view this object, ask to see it in the Prints and Drawings room of V&A's South Kensington site. Photo: V&A and MFAH.
