Hamlet in the Snow is a 1911 oil by William Degouve de Nuncques, a Symbolism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting, Hamlet in the Snow, shows a small village in winter. The scene is dominated by bare trees and snow-covered ground. In the background, a few houses are visible, with smoke rising from their chimneys. The sky above is gray and cloudy. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The trees and houses are depicted in shades of brown and gray, while the snow is painted in soft, white brushstrokes. The overall effect is one of quiet and stillness.
