This winter scene depicts a frozen pond surrounded by snowy banks, where numerous figures engage in various cold-weather activities. The composition is divided diagonally, with a turquoise-colored frozen pond in the lower portion and snow-covered slopes rising in the background. Bare winter trees dot the landscape, their dark trunks creating vertical lines against the pale winter sky. The figures are painted in vibrant reds, blacks, and yellows, providing striking contrast against the cool blues and whites of the winter setting. Some figures appear to be ice skating in circular patterns on the pond, while others are shown bent over, perhaps fishing through holes in the ice. On the snowy banks, several figures seem to be gathering or working, their postures suggesting physical activity. The painting captures the bustling energy of a winter day, with the community coming together to both work and play despite the cold season's gradual departure.
