About this work

This painting shows a snowy landscape with bare trees and a white, shadowy building. The snow covers the ground and rooftops, and the trees stand tall with no leaves. The colors are mostly pale blues, grays, and whites, giving it a quiet, cold feel. The artist painted this scene in 1913, capturing a quiet moment in a snowy village. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the scene feel fresh and natural. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
