This painting shows a snowy city street with a few people walking. A horse pulls a dark carriage, and a woman bends over near a cart. The buildings are plain, with some painted in warm reds and yellows, while others are pale gray. Snow covers roofs and the ground, and a church dome rises in the background. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a quick, lived-in feel. The artist focused on light and shadow to show depth, even though the colors are simple. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and dark create drama in art.
