A horizontally oriented woodblock print depicts a winter landscape where a pontoon bridge curves across deep blue water. In the lower third, a rider on a brown horse and figures in white cloaks trek over snowy boats. A snow-laden hut and spindly pine tree anchor the right foreground. Sharp outlines define the rolling brown and white hills in the background, which rise beneath a leaden, dark grey sky.
