In the center of an open room, a man and woman appear to be beginning a dance. Both are dressed in a French style; the man on the right has a long coat with tights and pointed shoes. The woman wears a long white and green dress with a bustle. The man is bowing to the woman with one arm outstretched, and the woman is coyly refusing. "A Christmas Greeting" is printed at the top and "The only way!" at the bottom.
