An outdoor scene in winter depicts a monumental building and a bronze sculptural group at VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy) in Moscow, Russia. In the foreground, a granite staircase with a single metal handrail ascends from the lower left, its steps partially covered in ice and snow. Centrally positioned on a granite plinth is a large bronze sculptural group of three figures, partially covered with accumulated snow. The figures, rendered in a realistic style, represent individuals in work attire. A central male figure holds a tool or staff in his right hand. To his left, another male figure raises an arm next to a large, unfurling banner draped behind the group. A third figure is partially obscured behind the central two. A prominent cogwheel is located at the base of the central figure. The sculptural group is situated at the base of an ornate building facade. To the left, a tall, arched entrance features a complex, multi-colored stained-glass window depicting figures and landscapes. The arch is framed by light-colored relief work with a repeating hexagonal floral pattern, bordered by a dark blue section embellished with organic, textured protrusions, some of which retain small patches of snow. To the right of the arch, the building's facade extends with multiple vertical, cream-colored pilasters, each topped with dark, ornate capitals. Between these pilasters are decorative patterned panels. A golden, sculptural element is visible along the building's roofline against a clear blue sky. Patches of snow are present on the ground, the statue, and various building features. Bare deciduous trees are visible in the distant background on the right.
