Jan Steen, renowned for his lively and often humorous depictions of 17th-century Dutch life, completed this work around 1665-1668. The painting captures the festive atmosphere of the traditional Dutch celebration of St. Nicholas' Eve, a precursor to the modern Christmas celebration, which takes place on December 5th.

In this detail, Steen masterfully portrays a domestic scene filled with the joyous chaos of the holiday. The composition is rich with narrative elements and character interactions, reflecting Steen's keen eye for detail and his ability to infuse his works with a sense of realism and vitality. The children in the painting are depicted with a range of emotions, from delight to disappointment, as they discover the gifts left by St. Nicholas. This emotional spectrum is a hallmark of Steen's work, showcasing his talent for capturing the human condition.

The setting is a typical Dutch interior, meticulously detailed to reflect the period's domestic architecture and furnishings. The warm, earthy tones and the play of light and shadow enhance the scene's convivial atmosphere. Steen's use of color and light not only brings the scene to life but also guides the viewer's eye to the various focal points within the composition.
