This painting shows a snowy cityscape with bare trees in the foreground. Buildings line the street, some with red roofs and others in muted yellows. A lone figure in a green coat walks near the center, while a horse-drawn carriage sits empty in the snow. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with thick patches of white and gray dominating the scene. The artist used bold, uneven strokes to create texture, almost like scratching into the surface. This technique makes the snow and trees feel rough and uneven, as if you could reach in and touch it. Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint style works.
