Durham Cathedral in Winter

Reverend H. Holden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a cathedral with twin towers, a river, and snow-covered buildings. The cathedral towers over the scene, viewed from a low angle. The background contains rooftops meeting the sky, with a river reflecting the buildings. A snow-covered structure is near the water. The landscape is covered in snow, with sepia tones giving an old-fashioned feel. The cathedral spires reach towards the sky, surrounded by snow-covered trees. A bare tree branch frames the scene on the left.
