The image depicts a tranquil winter scene along the Svislach River in Minsk, Belarus, viewed from the opposite bank of Janka Kupala Park. The sky, occupying the upper half of the frame, is overcast and pale blue-grey. The foreground and midground are dominated by the dark, still water of the river, which reflects the distant architecture and trees with faint ripples. An irregular sheet of ice floats on the water in the middle-left, with a small dark object, possibly a bird, visible on its surface. Along the river's edge, a small, white, classical-style rotunda with columns is partially submerged in the water, positioned slightly to the left of the image center. The riverbank beyond the rotunda ascends gently, covered in scattered patches of snow and lined with bare deciduous trees and some dark evergreen conifers. In the background, two distinct buildings are visible above the tree line. To the left, a large, light-colored, multi-story building with a neoclassical facade, featuring a prominent central portico with columns, is identified as the **Yanka Kupala National Academic Theatre**. A red and green flag, consistent with the flag of Belarus, flies from its roof. To the right, another multi-story, light-colored building, the **National Bank of the Republic of Belarus**, is distinguished by a tall, slender tower culminating in a spire topped with a crescent-shaped finial. No individuals are present in the scene, which conveys a sense of quietude in an urban setting.
