Detailed Description
A snow-covered street scene unfolds under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a wide street is heavily blanketed in white snow, with a slightly darker, less snow-laden path visible down the center. Several small, dark figures are scattered along this path, walking away from the viewer into the distance. On the left, a tall, light-colored building with a dark roofline and visible windows stands in the immediate foreground, its facade partially obscured by bare, reddish-brown branches. Snow rests on its roof and ledges. The street recedes into the midground, flanked by more buildings on both sides, their roofs also dusted with snow. On the right, a long, low, brown wall runs parallel to the street, behind which more snow-covered ground and distant structures are visible. A large, dark, bare tree with gnarled branches stands on the right side, its form silhouetted against the sky. The sky itself is a uniform, muted grey, with a faint, warm, orange-pink glow visible on the horizon line. The overall color palette is cool, dominated by whites, greys, and browns, with subtle hints of blue and pink.
