Small oil painting depicting a snowy landscape. The composition is framed on either side with trees, each with remnants of brown leaves attached to their branches. There is an equally sparse bush at the bottom of each tree, forming a U-shaped frame around the composition. At the center is a conical evergreen tree. The horizon is formed by a low hill, and the sky is a nearly uniform shade of blue. The lower right corner is signed, "Violetta Santo." The work is framed in a wood frame.Type of Painting
