The image is a vintage illustration, likely from a children's book, depicting a figure in a snowy landscape under a starry night sky. The central figure is a man dressed in elaborate, patterned clothing. He's wearing a short tunic with a complex geometric design, and over it, a long, flowing cape in shades of red and orange with a repeating pattern. He has a thick, curly beard and hair, and is wearing a fur-trimmed hood. He's equipped with a pair of snowshoes and is holding a long, slender pole, suggesting he is traversing the snow. The background is a gradient of blue, representing the night sky, speckled with numerous small white stars. The ground is covered in white snow, creating a stark contrast with the figure's attire. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of Art Nouveau or early 20th-century book illustration, with delicate lines and a focus on decorative detail. At the bottom of the image, there's text that reads, 'So the man gave him a pair of snow-shoes. Page 92.'
