If you carefully look at the landscape, then many details indicate that winter is just beginning, rare yellow leaves have remained on the trees. Bright sun rays suggest that the day is in full swing, it is noon. Only at this time of day can there be such a bright sun and long shadows from the trees. Before us is the countryside, which is indicated by wooden buildings in the background of the picture. The main thing is the blue river, its shore is completely strewn with snow, but the river has not frozen yet. Thin trees grow next to it in the form of pyramids. under the rays of the sun, separate branches are painted in a slightly yellowish color. The snow on them has already melted. Because of the bright sun, shades of a blue move away from the trees. The artist masterfully depicted various colors of snow in the picture. Depending on the lighting and location, it is blue, greenish or yellow. Near the river, the snow is white and clean. The artist conveyed his mood with great love from the joy of the splendor of a sunny winter day.
