Slender white birch trunks tilt at easy angles through a hushed, snow-softened wood, drifts gathering where they meet the ground. A small windowless timber outbuilding rests half-buried in the middle distance, its dark shape anchoring the pale scene. Loose, broken brushstrokes scatter soft dabs of ivory and silver across the surface, suggesting falling flakes in luminous, diffused light. The mood is quiet and inward, cool greys warmed by a faint green shadow.
