The image shows a winter scene from a slightly elevated perspective. In the distance, a flat horizon line separates the snow-covered ground from the sky, with some barren trees visible. It is a monochrome drawing, likely a lithograph, with strong, dark lines depicting numerous people skating on ice. The land surrounding the skating area is lighter, showing snowy ground and paths. In the foreground, a person is reclining on a hill, possibly sketching or reading, with a hat nearby. Another person is pushing a stroller, and someone is walking towards a small building along a curving path. The overall tone is black and white, contrasting the animated skaters with the calm landscape.
