Description: Exceedingly beautiful Snow Scene in fine detail and color. A Large, snow covered Pine appears to protect the women, child and small figure ahead, as they walk on the path toward the temple. Softly falling flakes descend from the gray winter sky, contrasting with the bright snow and colorful dress and umbrellas of the walking group; delicate detail on both sides further enriches this fine, quiet image and a peaceful atmosphere.
