The scene depicts a snow-covered birch forest or park area in Saint Petersburg, Russia. A lone individual, viewed from the rear, is walking from right to left on a compacted snow path. The person is dressed in a black hooded puffer jacket, black pants, black winter boots, and black gloves. To the left of the path, a dog with grey/merle fur, wearing a bright red full-body winter coat, is lying prone in deep snow, facing slightly towards the left. The ground is uniformly covered in thick white snow, interspersed with numerous slender, bare birch trees in the midground and background. Small branches and twigs protrude from the snow around the dog and the edges of the path. Snow has accumulated on the lower sections of some tree trunks. The overall lighting suggests an overcast winter day.
