About this work

This painting shows a red-brick building with small, square windows and a rounded tower. A bare tree stands in front, its branches dusted with snow. Two people walk near the building—one in dark clothes, the other in a long coat and hat. A small dog trots beside the second person, while a bundle leans against the wall. The ground is covered in light snow, and the sky is pale. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show texture, especially on the brick and tree. The light hits the building unevenly, creating shadows that add depth. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
