About this object

A winter landscape. In the center is a canal. There are two rowboats in the canal, one in center front, the other to the left and back. They are tied to the docks in front of two houses. To the right is a house surrounded by a wooden picket fence and two trees. To the left is another house and a fence. In the far distance are more houses in the rosy light of the setting sun against a blue sky. There is snow on the ground and footprints appear in the snow at the lower right in front of the house.
