It depicts a snow-covered road in front of a barn, with tracks of a horse cart and various footsteps in the snow. The painting is one of four related works from the winter of 1867, and represents Monet’s earliest series. They include this work, followed by Road to the Farm, Saint-Siméon, Honfleur, Road in Front of Saint-Siméon Farm in Winter, and Cart on a Snowy Road at Honfleur.[1]
