A winged angel, a woman, floats over a snow-covered village, a church and houses and farms visible in the background. She carries a severed evergreen tree over one shoulder and a shining lantern in her left hand, thrust forward to light her way. She wears a long flowing dress and is barefoot. Stars are visible through a gap in the clouds.
The painting is by Franz Wobring, with photogravure (I think) by Richard Bong. It was a large print, approximagely A3 in size.
F. Wobring: Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich here!
From heaven high, here I come!
Es träumte der Himmelsfriede
The peace of heaven dreamed
den süssen, seligen traum,
the sweet, blissful dream,
er schwebe auf Engelsflügen
he soars on angel flights
Hernieder zum Erdenraum.
Down to earth space.
Was klingen so frölich die Glocken
How merrily the bells ring
Durch die stille heilige Nacht?
Through the silent holy night?
Der Friede ist auf der Erde
Peace is on earth
Hold lächeind aufgewacht.
Hold up smiling.
