A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a snowy landscape where a brown doe stands centrally. One spotted fawn stands beside her, another lies curled on the ground. To the left, a large black bird with outstretched wings balances on the textured snow. Sunlight from the upper right casts blue-gray shadows. Along the right edge, thin trees and sparsely leafed branches rise, their delicate forms painted with fine strokes against the pale, winter light.
