The image depicts a black and white woodblock print of a snowy scene. Snow-covered mountains are in the background. In the foreground, a road winds through a small village with several buildings featuring tiled roofs covered in snow. Two people walk along the road, one holding an umbrella. The person on the left wears a blue outfit and walks under an orange and brown umbrella. The person on the right wears a fur-lined coat and a blue outfit. They walk away from the viewer. Snow falls in the scene. The sky is dark gray. Chinese characters appear in the top center and on the left side.
