A snow-blanketed village of steep-roofed timber chalets clusters around a tall church with a slender spire and a smaller onion-domed bell tower. It sits small in the lower-middle of the frame, beneath a towering range of jagged, snow-capped peaks that fill the upper two-thirds.

Warm golden light catches the upper ridgelines while the village and lower slopes rest in cool, even shadow under a hazy, overcast sky. In the foreground, two small figures in dark winter clothing walk a snowy road beside a rustic wooden fence, with a few bare, rust-colored trees and shrubs breaking through the snow.

The brushwork is loose and impressionistic. Chunky palette-knife and brush strokes leave visible ridges of paint in the rock faces and snowbanks.
