Vintage Soviet New Year postcard illustration, late 1950s–1960s style. A joyful child dressed in a warm winter coat, fur hat, and mittens sits on a wooden sled in a snowy forest clearing, smiling and holding a festive treat. A decorated Christmas tree beside the child, adorned with classic Soviet glass ornaments, candles, garlands, and a red finial topper. Surrounded by friendly forest animals — rabbits, a deer, squirrels, and bullfinches — all arranged in a harmonious, fairy-tale composition. Pine branches with cones frame the scene. Gentle snowfall, warm golden winter light, cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. Hand-painted illustration style with soft shading, slightly muted colors, aged paper texture, subtle grain, authentic mid-20th-century print look.
