This painting shows two horses and a dog in the snow. The horse on the left is dark, and the one on the right is light-colored. They are both in motion, with their heads turned towards each other. The dog, a St. Bernard, is lying in the snow, looking up at the horses. In the background, there are some buildings and a person standing in the distance. The painting is done in oil paint and features bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, capturing the dynamic interaction between the horses and the dog. The painting is held at the Munch Museum, which is dedicated to the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
