Cottages in the Winter Rain
c. 1920

A painting depicting a snowy street scene with two prominent houses featuring steep roofs and icicles hanging from the eaves. The foreground shows snow-covered ground with footprints, and multiple utility lines crisscross in front of a muted sky. The overall atmosphere is quiet and wintry.
