A painting depicting an industrial winter scene with snow-covered buildings, including a large dome structure and a silo. Two figures are seen in the foreground, one shoveling snow. Smoke billows from a chimney in the background, contrasting with the stark, cold landscape. A river with a boat and trees are visible in the distance under a cloudy sky. The artwork is signed in the lower right corner.
