Six tall Victorian townhouses in dusty brick red, sage, slate green, cream, steel blue and rose pink stand shoulder to shoulder along a snowy street. Candles glow in every window, and evergreen garlands, red bows and wreaths hang across the facades, with decorated Christmas trees in the front yards.

Warm amber light spills from the windows against a cool, muted dusk sky while soft snow drifts past black iron fences and gas lamps. Painted in matte gouache with a faint linen canvas weave, the scene feels nostalgic, cozy and quietly festive.
