Winter is a 1843 gouache by Joseph Rubens Powell, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a quiet winter scene with a bare tree in the center. A person stands in the snow, holding what looks like a bundle of sticks. In the background, there are a few small houses and a church tower, all lightly dusted with snow. The artist used soft colors and light strokes to make the scene feel calm and cold. The trees and houses fade into the distance, giving a sense of depth. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up light and color this way.
