This painting shows a dark horse pulling a sleigh with two people inside. The sleigh is moving along a path lined with bare trees, their branches twisted against a pale sky. The ground looks rough, with rocks and uneven dirt underfoot. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show texture, especially on the horse and trees. The shadows are deep, making the scene feel cool and quiet. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
