The image shows a winter scene with a snow-covered landscape. In the foreground, two figures dressed in dark clothing and hats are shoveling a pathway through deep snow. One person is holding a shovel upright while the other is clearing snow. On the right, a woman is tossing snow onto the side. The horizon is obscured by snow and trees, with cottages in the background. The style of the image is reminiscent of an engraving, with detailed lines and shading. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, white, and grey. Bare trees frame the view, and distant trees and structures are blurred.
