Winter Landscape of Hogback Mountain and the Pinnacle: A wintery landscape showing a snowy clearing in the foreground. A stream runs through the clearing, beside a cluster of five evergreen trees of differing heights. A wooden fence runs along the left side of the painting. In the distance, there are more evergreens, a wooden house, and the woods. The peaks of Hogback and the Pinnacle rise in the background, with a blue sky and fluffy clouds behind the mountains.
