Winter Scene in Philadelphia—The Bank of the United States in the Background
The image depicts a winter scene in a city, likely Philadelphia. A horse-drawn sleigh is prominently featured, pulled by two brown horses with white markings on their foreheads. The sleigh is brown and tan with a curved back and runners on the bottom. Six people are riding or standing on the sleigh. The driver, wearing a green coat and black hat, holds a whip in his right hand. Four people sit inside, two in the front and two in the back. A man stands on the back of the sleigh, holding a large bundle, and a boy is on the ground behind, possibly helping. In the background, two large buildings are visible. The one on the left is white with columns and a triangular pediment. The building on the right is brick with many windows.
