The image shows two people from behind, walking down a narrow street covered in snow. The first person on the left is mostly obscured by a large umbrella they are holding, while their legs and boots are visible. The person on the right is also dressed in a long coat and is wearing a hat. Their hands are in their coat pockets as they walk. The street is flanked by tall, multi-story buildings with window shutters and architectural details. The background shows a light fixture hanging between the buildings, and the scene is enveloped in a snowy atmosphere.
