A densely packed forest scene during winter. The composition is defined by a rhythmic pattern of tall, slender tree trunks that stretch vertically across the frame.
The trees in the foreground are sharp and detailed, while those further back gradually become lighter and less distinct, creating a sense of depth. The bark provides a sharp, dark contrast against the bright white snow.
Fresh, powdery snow coats almost every surface. It clings to the evergreen needles, rests on the thin branches of the undergrowth, and creates a thick, pristine blanket over the forest floor.
The image is almost monochromatic. It is dominated by various shades of white and soft grey from the snow and overcast sky, punctuated by the deep browns and charcoal tones of the tree bark.
