This painting shows a steep, rocky mountain slope covered in patches of snow. The ground is uneven, with dark shadows and jagged rocks leading up to a higher, snow-capped peak. The sky above is pale and hazy, blending into the distant mountain. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes to show the rough texture of the rocks and snow. The way light and shadow play across the surface makes the scene feel dramatic and rugged. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
