This 1894 print depicts a serene and ethereal figure reminiscent of religious iconography, particularly that of Christian angels or saints. The subject is a young person with an upward gaze, wearing a flowing white robe and adorned with a wreath of blue flowers, possibly forget-me-nots, symbolizing remembrance or true love in many cultures. The figure's hands are crossed over the chest in a gesture of devotion or reverence. Behind the subject is a golden halo or nimbus, a common element in religious art signifying holiness or divine light. The background is a muted gold color, further emphasizing the spiritual nature of the image. The artistic style appears to blend elements of Romanticism and Pre-Raphaelite influences, popular in the late 19th century, with its idealized beauty and attention to detail in the flowers and drapery. The title "Der Weihnachtsengel" (The Christmas Angel) suggests this may be a representation of an angel associated with the Nativity, though the imagery is subtle and not overtly Christmas-themed. The print showcases the technical skill of color printing in the late 19th century, with its soft, blended tones and delicate details.
