About the piece
Painted in 1858, George Henry Durrie’s work captures the atmospheric beauty of a Connecticut winter. The composition balances the warmth of human activity—dogs playing and a horse-drawn sleigh being readied—against the vast, chilling expanse of the snow and the dramatic, overcast sky typical of New England landscape painting in this period.
