About this work

This painting shows a quiet winter landscape with rolling hills covered in snow. A small bridge arches over a frozen river, and a few tiny figures row a boat nearby. Trees stand bare, their branches dusted with white, while a few bushes add a splash of pink or red. In the distance, a lone tower perches on a rocky outcrop, and misty mountains fade into the pale sky. The artist left a small red seal near the top—likely their signature. The scene feels peaceful but also a little mysterious, like something’s just out of sight. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
