This painting shows a dark, bare forest in winter. The trees stand tall and thin, their branches reaching out against a pale, misty sky. The ground is covered in patches of snow and shadow, with a few scattered rocks or fallen branches. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick study. The artist used mostly muted grays and whites, with just a hint of green in the trees. If you like this style, look up impasto.
