The image shows a street scene from an elevated, angled point of view. The focus is on buildings, figures, and a storefront with striped awnings covered in snow. Brushstrokes are broad and painterly, depicting movement and texture. A woman in a red coat holds a yellow umbrella. The color palette is dominated by cool tones with pops of warmer colors. Figures and shop window displays can be seen in the background.
