Winter

Joseph Rubens Powell (English, 1860–1926)

A blanket of snow muffles the English countryside. Bare trees stand like sentinels against the pale sky, their branches etched with frost. The air hangs still, heavy with cold. Footprints fade into the distance—someone passed here, but now the land holds its breath, waiting for winter’s next move.
La Frileuse (1895)

Jenny Tvermoes (Danish, unknown)

A woman shivers in the cold, her breath visible in the winter air. The portrait captures her wrapped tightly against the chill, cheeks flushed, eyes distant. Snow clings to her shawl. There’s a quiet tension—is she waiting, or lost in thought? The frost seems to seep into the canvas itself.
Winter In Liguria

Henry Herbert La Thangue (English, 1859–1929)

Bare branches claw at a pale Ligurian sky. The earth lies dormant under a thin veil of frost, waiting. A single path cuts through the stillness, its dirt packed hard by winter’s grip. The air smells of cold soil and distant woodsmoke. Nothing moves. Nothing needs to.
Hiver Dans La Foret (1912)

William Degouve de Nuncques (Belgian, unknown)

Moonlight glazes the snow-laden pines, casting blue shadows across the silent forest. Branches sag under their frozen weight, the air thick with stillness. No footprints disturb the white expanse—only the cold glow of night pressing between the trees. A hush so deep it hums.
Winter Landscape (1940)

Horace Pippin (American, 1888–1946)

Bare branches claw at a pale sky. Snow blankets the ground, thick and undisturbed, swallowing sound. A lone path cuts through the stillness, its edges blurred by cold. The air feels heavy, waiting. Something lingers just beyond the trees—a presence, or perhaps the memory of one.
A Red Deer in Winter (1886)

Arthur Thiele (German, 1841–1919)

A lone stag stands in the snow-laden forest, breath steaming in the cold air. Its russet coat contrasts sharply with the white drifts, antlers stark against the muted winter trees. The quiet crunch of hooves on frost seems almost audible in the hush of the scene.
A Cottage In Gastein, Austria ( 1912)

Peder Mørk Mønsted (Danish, unknown)

Snow blankets the Austrian hillside, muffling the world. Smoke curls from the cottage chimney, a thin gray thread against the crisp white. The frozen stream glints under pale sunlight, its surface cracked like old porcelain. Warm light glows behind frosted windows—a quiet defiance against winter’s grip.
Winter Song (1880s)

Francis Donkin Bedford (English, 1864–1954)

A frost-laced countryside hums under pale light, bare branches etching the sky. The hush of snow muffles distant echoes—perhaps footsteps, perhaps a melody carried on the cold air. Winter holds its breath here.
Red roofs, corner of a village, winter

Camille Pissarro (French, 1830–1903)

A snowy village scene where red rooftops glow against winter’s muted tones, capturing quiet rural life with warmth and texture.
