Horse Team in Snow is a 1921 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
The painting depicts a horse team in the snow, with the horses standing in a line. The horses are painted in shades of brown and white, with some blue undertones. The background is a soft, snowy landscape with some trees and a fence in the distance. In the foreground, the horses are the main focus, with their heads and bodies facing to the right. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The colors are muted, with a focus on earth tones and blues, which creates a sense of calmness and serenity. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the horses and background blending together seamlessly.
