The image shows a bridge crossing over a stream, with snow-covered banks. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, looking down at the scene. The horizon is visible higher up in the composition, separating the bridge and a snow-covered path. Two figures are on the right side of the bridge. The bridge arches over the stream, which runs diagonally from left to right. The style is sketch-like, created using fine textured pencil strokes. The image has a monochromatic color palette, using shades of gray.
