To read about your workflow is really interesting. So Edward hit the nail with his guess in >>29135, because he got inspired by your search in >>29034. :)
I had Thomas Nast and Haddon H. Sundblom in mind, because these two significantly formed the shape of the Santa Claus that's common today.
The first drew Santa 33 times for Harper's Weekly, starting in 1862 (when he was hired, first publishing 1863) and ending in 1886.
The second created from 1931 to 1964 all of Coca-Cola’s Santa Claus advertisements.
Contrary to the urban myth Coca Cola didn't invent Santa Claus. but for nearly a century they bogart him for their ads.

I invite everyone who wants to learn about this connection to read the following articles.

To forget about the signatures makes sense, now knowing that you don't use image to image AI generators.
But taking this into account I'm wondering about the edit you metioned in >>29034 and for what kind of image you're looking for. If you need an "original" then you might want to check the TIF-version of the picture in >>29137.
It is also available at Wikipedia ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%22Freedom_From_Want%22_-_NARA_-_513539.tif ), though I am not sure if it has a much better quality. The images have both a resolution of 2361x3000 pixel which indeed differ slightly in color. The main difference is the size ‒ JPG 0,9 MB, TIF 20,3 MB.

However, I'm looking forward to your next creation. :)
