Christmas-Time, The Blodgett Family

Eastman Johnson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A dark wood paneled room with a doorway to the right and a lit fireplace on the left, the room dimly lit by light from a tall arched window on the left; a Christmas tree stands beside the doorway. A man in dark clothes stands on the left. A woman sits at a table with four children. The child to her right sits on a chair and holds a wrapped gift. The child across from her sits on the floor. The two children on the left stand. The table has a red tablecloth. The children wear white and dark clothing. On the mantle are candlesticks and a globe. The floor has a rug and a blanket. There are framed pictures on the wall. A large piece of canvas or board leans against the wall beside the window.
