Description

A white-walled house with stone corner quoins, a columned veranda and a stepped entrance stands on a snowy street. Three people stand on the steps and by the doorway, and a fourth person stands near a wooden gate on the left. An old open car with a canvas roof is parked in the muddy, snowy road in the foreground, and a low stone wall lies to the right.
