This painting by Josef Schakewits presents a tranquil winter landscape in soft, muted tones. A man with a walking stick and two ladies stroll along a snow-covered road, flanked by bare pollard willows. In the foreground stands a simple wooden roadside cross, while the horizon glows warmly with the setting sun. The composition reflects the serene mood typical of Schakewits’ work, with grey and brown hues adding depth to the wintry atmosphere.
