This painting shows a quiet village scene in winter. A church with a tall steeple sits behind a small, snow-covered yard. Two people stand near a stone bench, one holding a shovel, while a dog lies in the snow. The ground is blanketed in white, with patches of brown grass peeking through. The artist used loose, sketchy brushstrokes to capture the cold, muted tones of the snow. The church’s stained-glass windows glow faintly against the pale background.
