A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a woman with light skin tone sweeping snow from brown stone steps. Facing our left, she wears a light yellow jacket, white skirt, and light blue headscarf. Thick, layered brushstrokes define the heavy white snow against red brick walls and a dark door at the top. Textured surfaces and dabs of paint create a cold, wintry atmosphere throughout the composition.
