The scene depicts an outdoor winter landscape in Hamburg, Germany. The ground, foreground, and branches of numerous bare deciduous trees are covered in a thick layer of snow. An overcast, light blue-grey sky dominates the upper portion of the image. A paved street, partially cleared of snow, traverses the middle ground, bordered in the foreground by a dark metal fence. Several vehicles are parked along the street, including a white van and a dark-colored car on the left, both with visible snow accumulation. Additional dark-colored vehicles are parked further right. In the background, partially obscured by trees, multiple residential buildings with pitched roofs are discernible. A single, dark, indistinct human figure is observed walking on the sidewalk behind the white van.
