Winter is a 1905 oil by Eugène Laermans, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
In this painting, a group of people are shown pulling a cart through the snow. The cart is loaded with what appears to be firewood, and the people are dressed in warm clothing, including coats, hats, and scarves. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-covered fields and buildings, with a gray sky above. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the depiction of the people and their surroundings. The use of color is muted, with shades of brown, gray, and white dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of quiet, everyday life, with the people going about their daily business despite the cold weather.
