About this work
A family celebrates Saint Nicholas Day in an interior. The father sits by the hearth reading, while behind him two daughters show off the dolls they have received. On the floor, a child snacks from a bowl of cookies and sweets. To the left, a crying boy has received only a switch; the maid behind him holds his shoe containing the switch.
