About the piece
This evocative oil painting by Cornelius Krieghoff captures the quiet drama of a mid-19th-century winter. Figures navigate a deep snowdrift near a small dwelling, surrounded by frost-laden evergreens and a heavy, wind-swept sky that masterfully conveys the biting chill of the North.
