The scene shows a snowy landscape with a large building featuring a dark roof and beige walls on the left side. Several people dressed in blue and brown clothing are walking on the snow-covered ground, some carrying horses. A bare tree stands to the left of the building, and a mountain range is visible in the background. A body of water is also present in the background, with a red lantern hanging from a tree branch on the right side. The sky above is a gradient of orange and white. The print features Japanese writing in the top-right corner and a red seal. The overall composition includes a mix of natural and man-made elements, showcasing a serene winter scene.
