A mother and daughter are shown here choosing a Christmas tree, a scene that captures the way evergreens came to fill American and European homes in the nineteenth century. Painted winter scenes of this kind were popular as the custom spread, and they often presented the tree-buying trip as a warm family ritual set against the cold. Notice how the artist uses the snowy ground and bare surroundings to make the green of the tree stand out, a contrast that helped make such images feel festive.
