This painting shows a snowy landscape with a small stream cutting through the white ground. A line of bare trees stands in the background, their branches dark against the pale blue sky. One tree in the foreground has twisted branches spreading across the snow. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving the snow a textured look. The artist focused on light and shadow to show depth. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
