This hand-coloured illustration is centered above the poem’s text, occupying two-third of the page. It’s outlined in a thick black rectangular border, in portrait orientation. Four pale-skinned boys with rosy cheeks walk in the snow, singing. The foremost boy holds a tree branch decorated with red and blue cloths or ribbons; another plays the accordion or concertina. In the background are several white houses, black trees, and black birds. The sky is coloured pink. The artist’s signature is in the bottom right of the frame.
