Travelers in cloaks endure a snowstorm beside a laden mule and a small dog, with bare trees in a gray winter landscape.

Winter Scene

A group of travelers struggles through a snowstorm in a bleak winter landscape, their cloaks whipped by wind. A crouching figure at left shields his face, while a mule with heavy packs and a small dog stand in the snow beside bare trees. Oil on canvas, with muted grays, whites and browns.
