This painting shows a winter landscape with snow-covered ground and tall, dark trees with straight trunks. The color palette is almost entirely white, gray, and black, with some dark brown leaves on the trees. Small gray shrubs and grass are visible peeking through the white snow, and the dense trees cast gray shadows. The sky beyond the trees is white.
