The creative artist realized the St. Nicholas Festival on this brand without directly exposing the saint. As in the previous presentation, the facial expressions of the children play an essential role. The two sisters, who are seen, are representative of different ages, who have different expectations for this event. The face of the little girl expresses no uncertainty, only the expectation of the gifts of Nicholas, because it was so good. In the features of the older sister one recognizes the emerging doubts about the "authenticity" of the figure of St. Nicholas. Only the episcopal crosier in the background and the apple-filled boots make a direct reference to the so important for children, St. Nicholas. The engraving of the motif was carried out by the spouse of the creative artist, as with all other stamps in this series.
