About this work

This painting shows a snowy city street with bare trees and yellow buildings. A few people walk along the sidewalk, dressed in winter coats. A horse-drawn carriage sits near a fence in the foreground, while a tram rolls down the road in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured feel. The artist used bold colors—like the yellow of the buildings—to stand out against the white snow. Check out impasto to see how thick paint layers create this kind of texture.
