Winter Scenery is a 1869 oil by Ludvig Munthe, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a snowy landscape with a few people and animals in the distance. The scene is set in a rural area, with a road running through the center and buildings on either side. The sky is overcast, and the overall mood is one of quietness and stillness. In the foreground, a dog is walking along the road, while in the background, people are gathered near the buildings. The snow-covered ground and trees add to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
