This painting shows a snowy landscape with a frozen river stretching into the distance. On the right, a person stands wrapped in a dark coat, holding what looks like a fishing rod. The scene is quiet, with bare trees and a few buildings faintly visible across the water. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the snow and trees a textured look. The artist seems to focus on light and shadow, especially where the snow meets the shadows of the trees. Look up *impasto* next to see how this technique works.
