Vintage Soviet-style illustration of a girl holding a tabby cat and a man holding a striped cat in a snowy city, with "Happy New Year 2026!" above.

Vintage Soviet New Year's card of the 1950s, traditional illustration in gouache or watercolour. The faces of people and animals are as accurately as possible based on the provided photo and repeat them 100%, strictly preserve facial features FROM THE PHOTO, proportions, facial expressions, direction of look and facial expression, without distortion or simplification, only translate into the drawn style of the old postcard. The clothes are stylised as Soviet winter fashion. The girl has a ermine hat, she is holding a cat from the fourth photo. The man in classic Soviet clothes is holding a cat in the second photo. New Year's background winter cityscape, snow-covered streets, Christmas trees with toys, large soft falling snowflakes. The colours are slightly faded and muted, with a warm vintage shade: cold blue and white tones of snow are combined with warm red, brown and cream details. The style of drawing is a classic Soviet book illustration of the mid-twentieth century. The effect of an old printed postcard: slight graininess, texture of rough paper, slight blurring of the contours in the background. The atmosphere is festive, warm and nostalgic, like a home New Year's card of the 1950s. Large inscription in red: "Happy New Year 2026!" Calligraphic retro font in the style of Soviet postcards of the 1950s. See more
