An urban street scene in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is depicted during winter

An urban street scene in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is depicted during winter. The primary focus is a narrow, snowy street flanked by multi-story residential buildings under a clear blue sky marked by white contrails. On the left, a light reddish-brown building with rusticated stone blocks on its lower facade extends into the distance. A dark metal gate is partially open into an entrance, displaying a white sign with black text in Russian, which translates to "Parking is prohibited. A tow truck is operating." Adjacent to the gate, a weathered concrete bollard protrudes from the snow-covered ground. The sidewalk directly in front of the building is mostly clear but shows patches of packed snow and ice. The street itself is heavily covered in dirty snow, forming significant drifts along the curb. Numerous bare deciduous trees line the right side of the street, intermingled with more multi-story buildings of varying colors, including pale yellow and light brown, receding into the background. Several vehicles are parked along the right curb, largely obscured by snow accumulation; a blue sedan is prominent in the foreground, with its front end partially buried in snow, and a white commercial van or truck is visible further down the street, also snow-covered. In the far distance, a single human figure is discernible on the right sidewalk. Overhead utility wires crisscross the frame against the bright sky. The overall impression is a cold, quiet winter day in a historic urban environment.
