Seven narrow, gabled townhouses in blush pink, ivory, slate blue and terracotta fill the frame edge to edge, with a slender church tower and pointed spire rising at the center. Wreaths and garland trim the doorways, and snow-dusted evergreens and black wrought-iron lamps stand between the houses along a snow-covered cobbled street.

Cool, diffused light in the sky and snow contrasts with warm golden light glowing from windows and doorways. Falling snow appears as soft dabbed flecks, and a light haze softens the roofline. Palette-knife strokes leave visible impasto in the sky, snow and rooftops, and the blended edges give the scene a gentle, romantic feel.
