Christmas Eve window, c. 1902
Mable Nast Crawford house, New Rochelle, New York, c. 1911–present
Leaded glass Tiffany Studios, New York City, 1902–32 51 x 37 in. (86-005)
It is not known whether the bearded figure in this c. 1902 Tiffany Studios window is meant to be St. Nicholas holding the Christ child or whether the entire grouping, including the dove, represents the Holy Trinity. In any case, the wise men, evergreens with candles, and mistletoe are almost certainly a reference to the Christmas holiday. The window, commissioned for the home of his daughter Mable Nast Crawford, was designed based upon an image of St. Nicholas by Thomas Nast Sr. (1840–1902).
