Merry Christmas!
OK, a one-horse open sleigh this ain’t, but the dashing through the snow part is right, and I can almost hear the sleigh bells jingling merrily on the thigh straps of these delicious draft animals. Not to mention the hearty “KRA-ACK!” of that carriage whip zinging in to encourage lagging sleigh-pony girls to greater efforts….
A merry Christmas indeed.
Christmas 2012 update: I found a cleaner, larger version of the artwork and (if you click through) you can see the artist’s signature is “Turk”.
