About this work

This painting shows a snowy street scene with bare trees lining both sides. A few people walk along the sidewalk, bundled in dark coats. In the middle, a horse-drawn carriage moves past a building with a yellowish wall. The colors are mostly muted—whites, grays, and dull blues—with a few brighter spots like the carriage’s lantern. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, almost like quick sketches. This style makes the scene feel rough and alive, like you’re seeing it through a quick glance.
