Figure descriptions
Outdoor scene featuring a crowd of men, women, girls, boys, and a dog. Several figures
are skating on a frozen river, and at
least three of them have fallen down. Other figures crowd around the river’s edges.
Some figures are watching the people on the ice.
One young boy sits next to the ice tying his skates. Two figures climb a tree adjacent
to the river. Snow blankets the ground. There
are trees and a castle in the background. The poem title, “DECEMBER”, is centred at
the bottom of the illustration. 1/2-page
illustration contained within a single-ruled border.
