The scene depicts a snow-covered rural landscape in Trassem, Germany, under a uniform grey, overcast sky. A dark, wet paved path, partially covered with slush and patches of melted snow, curves uphill and towards the right of the frame. Two individuals are positioned on this path in the left-center. An adult, viewed from behind, wears a white quilted puffer jacket, dark-colored leggings, and grey winter boots. They are bent forward at the waist, facing a smaller individual. This smaller individual, a child, wears a light blue and white patterned snowsuit and blue boots, standing upright next to the adult and holding a light-colored object, possibly a small bag or toy. The ground adjacent to the path on both sides is covered in a layer of fresh white snow. In the background, a hillside covered with snow-dusted deciduous trees leads to a dense line of snow-covered coniferous trees stretching across the horizon. A bare, slender tree with a stake supporting it stands in the snow on the far left of the foreground.
