Description
English: In this scene from the legend of St. Nicholas, the saint secretly throws gold through the window of an impoverished nobleman's house to provide dowries for his three daughters (saving them from prostitution). Because the saint did not want his identity known, his act of charity was performed under cover of darkness while the man and his daughters slept.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1452, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
