Celebrate St. Nicholas: A Collection of Hand-Painted Santas (Decorative Arts Collection)

The fabulous St. Nicholas figurines painted in this book all began as 14-inch unpainted wooden figures. Each was meticulously hand-carved in Russia by skilled artisans working in traditional Russian folk style. Whether painted with realism, stroke work, landscapes or animals, the result is a celebration not only of St. Nicholas but also a celebration of the beauty and diversity of decorative painting.
