The image is a print depicting a snowy urban scene from an elevated point of view. The horizon is set above the snow-covered rooftops of a series of houses, with more buildings and a part of a harbor or waterfront distinctly visible in the distance. The style of the print features bold outlines and flat areas of color, possibly in a woodblock or linocut technique. The overall color palette is muted, mainly white for the snow, combined with varied shades of blue and brown. The snow lies thickly on the rooftops closest to us, while further down the street, there are footprints and tire tracks leading past trees and houses toward the waterfront. Power lines diagonally intersect the scene, adding an element of linear perspective.
