The scene depicts a snow-covered outdoor area in Sallaumines, France, under an overcast sky. In the foreground and midground, snow covers the ground, showing multiple human footprints leading away from the viewer towards a white cargo van. The van, oriented with its rear-left quarter facing the camera, is parked at an angle on the snow-covered surface. It features a black rear bumper, a circular fuel cap access on the rear-left panel, and a silver multi-spoke hubcap on the visible rear wheel. Tire tracks curve in the snow to the left of the van, originating from an unseen direction. To the left, a tall, gray, block-like building is partially visible. A green metal fence or gate delineates the boundary of the immediate area. Beyond this fence, a roadway is visible, on which a red hatchback car is parked or in motion. Further back and to the left, a black sedan is partially visible near a green-lit traffic light. In the background, a two-story brick building with a brown-tiled roof is situated. Utility poles with overhead wires traverse the upper portion of the frame, from which colored triangular flags are strung across. Bare tree branches are visible behind the fence and buildings.
