The scene depicts a winter landscape in Kuyeda, Russia, at what appears to be either dusk or dawn, under a clear, deep blue sky. In the foreground, a dark metal railing consisting of five posts with spherical finials connected by heavy chains runs horizontally across the lower third of the frame. This railing is situated atop a low, light blue concrete wall. Directly beyond the railing, a substantial body of water is visible, entirely frozen and covered with a layer of snow and ice. On the far bank of the frozen body of water, a series of bare, dark trees with prominent, upright branches are distributed. Centrally positioned on this distant bank stands a small, wooden structure with a blue, conical roof culminating in a golden onion dome topped with an Orthodox cross. The building features an entrance with a distinct circular emblem above it. Surrounding this structure and interspersed among the trees are several residential houses of various architectural styles and colors, some with blue roofs and others with reddish-brown. The ground on the far bank is also covered in snow. No individuals are present in the visible area.
