Description
The painting depicts a tranquil, atmospheric winter landscape with a snow-covered farmstead. Several farmhouses with partly weathered roofs are nestled within a gentle, bright layer of snow. The subdued, slightly gray-blue winter light creates a quiet, almost poetic calm. A single tree, along with scattered tools and stones, subtly enliven the scene and give it a natural, authentic character.

The loosely executed yet secure painting style, the harmonious tonality, and the structure of the composition are typical of Pedersen's landscape depictions. The treatment of the winter light, softly falling over buildings and ground, is particularly impressive.
