1888, Japan:  get a kotatsu stove, enough quilts, and a handy cat, and finally you'll be "Feeling Warm" like the title of this print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japan, 1839-1892).  In his later years this great ukiyo-e woodblock artist suffered severely from depression, yet was able to create this snug and peaceful scene.  Look how perfect that splash of crimson sleeve is, just enough not to overpower the scene, providing a spark of heat.  Lovely.
