Description

A whitewashed single-storey house with a tiled roof stands under snow, with a wooden gate and fence in front. A man in a dark coat and hat and a woman in a light dress stand near the gate. A dark car is parked at left beside a low whitewashed outbuilding, with tyre tracks running through the snow on the road in front.
