About this work

This drawing shows a quiet winter scene with a winding path through snow. A few people walk in the distance, and bare trees line the road. A small house sits off to the left, half-hidden by branches. The sky is pale, and the ground looks frosted. The artist used soft, light strokes to show the cold morning glow. The trees and bushes are drawn with fine lines, making them look delicate against the white snow. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
