The scene depicts a large, intricately carved snow sculpture located in Местечко Раифа, Russia, under a clear blue sky. The central element is a rectangular relief carving of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, both figures featuring halos and traditional iconographic styling. Flanking this central panel are two groups of winged angels, also sculpted in relief from snow. On the left, two angels are shown with one kneeling and the other standing, both exhibiting reverent postures with clasped hands and halos, positioned against a large, feathered wing extending from the sculpture's left side. The right side mirrors this arrangement with two similarly posed, winged angels with halos. The entire sculpture rests on a base of undisturbed snow. In the immediate foreground, several small, clear ice blocks are visible on the snow-covered ground. Distant background elements include a bare deciduous tree to the upper left and a modern street lamp extending above the sculpture on the right. The strong sunlight casts distinct shadows across the snow surface and from the sculpture.
