Charles Burchfield

Wet Snow and Ice
1947–1955

A painting depicting a snowy landscape with a large, leafless tree in the foreground. Snow-covered branches stretch across the canvas, and a traditional stone house with a peaked roof and a window is visible to the right. A low metal fence runs along the bottom, and another building with a blue door and window shutters can be seen in the background. The artist's signature and the date '1947-55' are in the lower left corner.
