Fresh snow rests on the steep roofs of a lakeside village. A tall, slim church spire rises among warm timber houses, with dark evergreens climbing the slope behind them. The mountains across the water fade into pale, cloudy haze.

The lake is nearly motionless. It carries the peaks, the cloud bank and the line of the village in a soft, silvery reflection. The palette is cool and quiet, with small notes of ochre and brick red in the house walls.
