oil painting of a large stone- built dwelling situated atop a snow- covered mountain. The structure is made of large, irregularly shaped stones stacked to form a square shape, it has an ancient wooden door, with windows to either side, a shingle roof with a stone chimney. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, and the distant horizon shows a range of mountains under a blue sky. The snow on the ground is pristine, with a few rocks and delicate flowers protruding through the surface. There are no people visible in the image. The overall scene conveys a sense of isolation and rugged natural beauty
