Description
In Snow, the white snow lies heavily on the ground, while the snow continues to fall. At the top are a few snow-encrusted fir branches, cut off by the edge of the picture. On the gently rising ground, a hare has left its tracks in the snow. The closely cropped composition and the curving lines contributing to a superficial, almost abstract impression.
