Known for his reputation as a secret gift-giver, St Nicholas was not only a saint but also served as the Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor during the 4th century. This wood engraving portrays him in all his glory, wearing traditional religious attire including a robe and mitre. The image beautifully captures an important moment in St Nicholas' life when he saved three innocent boys.

His benevolent nature shines through as he extends his hand to protect these young souls, symbolizing his devotion to Christianity and compassion towards others. The artist skillfully brings out every detail, from St Nicholas' majestic beard to the intricate design on his crozier. The color palette chosen adds depth and richness to this historical portrait, showcasing its French origins.
