A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year is a 1859 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Sheet Music, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Homer painted a boy and girl holding holly branches. Their faces glow in the soft light. The boy wears a red coat. The girl has a green dress. Snow dusts the ground behind them. This was Homer’s first Christmas card design. He sold it to a Boston printer. The image feels warm and cozy, like a holiday greeting. Check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) next.
