The image shows a winter scene viewed from slightly above and to the side. The environment is covered in snow, including the ground and the buildings in the distance. Closest to the viewer is a figure in a green coat and brown cap, sitting on a horse-drawn sled with two white horses. The color palette is predominantly cool, with blues and whites dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, adding texture to the image. In the distance, brick buildings stand out with red and orange hues contrasting against the snowy landscape. Bare trees are silhouetted against a soft, cloud-streaked sky.
