Made as a Christmas card in 1916. Drawing of the interior of the artist's studio and showing his family -George Bellows

This is the earliest of three Christmas cards and shows the top floor of Bellows' home at 146 East Nineteenth Street. While his children, Anne and Jean, play below the stairs, Bellows contentedly paints his wife, Emma. Talking on the telephone is Bellows' mother-in-law, Mrs. Story. The printer working at the press is George Miller.
