Description: | A pretty girl stares out at us from her dark surroundings. You might expect to see a bright and colourful picture from looking at the title, but it is only the girl's golden hair that illuminates the black background. We can just about make out the candles and bells decorating the Christmas tree. The strong contrast between light and shade create a striking image.
