About this work

This photo shows a big, old building with a gray roof dusted with snow. The walls are plain, with small windows lined up in rows. A curved wall hugs the corner, and a low gate sits in front. The ground looks wet, like it just rained or melted.
The artist took this picture in 1907. It’s a quiet shot of a palace wing, not a fancy scene.
