About this work

This painting shows two people in heavy coats walking in deep snow. One leads two oxen pulling a handcart loaded with a large barrel. The trees around them are bare, covered in snow, and the ground is white except where the animals’ hooves have pressed it down. The people and oxen look tired but focused on moving forward. The barrel on the cart is dark and heavy-looking, suggesting they might be transporting something important. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange people and objects to tell a story.
