Summary:
Dark winter night landscape with a house in the foreground nearly covered in deep snow drifts, and in the sky overhead, wind-blown clouds forming haunting patterns of light and dark across the moonlit sky. Lights glow in the windows, and inside, a young child is visible seated in front of one of the windows.
