Two minuscule people stand in the center of an expansive, rugged landscape dusted with snow in this horizontal painting. Snow nestles in among the tawny-brown ridges that roll like waves back to the horizon, which comes almost halfway up the composition. The people are painted with a few dabs of fawn brown, and they stand on a spit of land to our right of center. Mountainous ridges along the horizon are shaded in slate blue under a steely-blue sky.
