The scene depicts an outdoor winter market on an overcast, snowy day in the area of Udelny Market, near Udelnaya Metro Station, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Snow covers the ground, market stalls, and rooftops. In the foreground, a male individual, appearing to be in his 40s or 50s, stands facing towards the right, engaged with a small evergreen tree. He wears a red and black winter jacket with reflective grey strips on the shoulders, camouflage patterned trousers, black winter boots, and a black knit hat. His left hand is near the upper trunk of the tree, which stands upright in a white plastic bucket partially filled with snow, while his right hand is positioned lower on the tree. Piles of similar evergreen branches or small trees lie horizontally on the snow to his right. To the left of the primary individual, a second male in a grey hooded winter jacket is visible, leaning over a table covered with a light blue and white patterned tablecloth. On the table, several plastic-wrapped packages, likely containing lard or meat products, are stacked. Below this table, a black plastic crate and a folded metal stand are present. Further back and to the right, a third, partially visible individual in dark clothing is bent over near a small display of stacked cardboard boxes on the snow. The background features a long, low-rise covered structure with a snow-laden roof, supported by multiple columns, typical of a market pavilion or railway platform. Beyond this, several large, multi-story residential buildings with beige facades are visible against the pale sky, consistent with the architecture found near Udelnaya Metro Station. Two tall, grey utility poles stand vertically in the midground on the left. The overall scene suggests commercial activity in a cold, urban environment.
