This painting shows a cold winter morning on a street called Annankatu. There are buildings on both sides of the street, and snow covers the ground and rooftops. A few people are outside, bundled up in coats and hats. In the distance, you can see smoke rising from chimneys, suggesting that people are warm and cozy inside their homes. The scene is peaceful and quiet, with no signs of activity or movement. The artist who painted this scene is Magnus von Wright.
