Father Christmas stands on a balcony over the city while snow is falling and blows into his trumpet. Dressed in a red-and-white coat, he carries a basket of toys on his back and walking stick in his left hand. The balcony is is covered with snow and the railing is intricately carved; behind him, half a clock-face hangs on the building. The snow-covered city is spread out beneath him to the right of the card. "Merry Christmas" is printed at the top.
A red-haired woman in a fine dress stands on a balcony. She is leaning on a stone railing, and a red curtain falls down the right side of the card. On the other side of the rail, a man in a feathered hat riding a white horse is speaking to her. There are hills and clouds in the background. Printed near the bottom is "[H]eft ist her hinanaus in die weite Welt, / [H]at heinen Abschied genommen." There is handwriting in German below the print.
