About this work

This painting shows a snowy village scene with a crowd of people walking under a white-roofed building. Bare trees line the street, and the ground is dusted with snow. A covered market stall sits in the middle, with people bundled in coats and hats. Notice how the artist uses dark shadows against the bright snow to make the scene feel cold and crisp. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the buildings texture. Check out impasto to see how artists build up paint for extra depth.
