Although it is always difficult to situate a landscape without precise indications, the emphasis is on the background, where we can make out snow-capped mountains and, above all, a small village. We know that Harpignies painted the south of France, Menton in particular, and we imagine ourselves in the hinterland of this region.
It is above all the artist's talent to arrange these different planes and take us through this landscape, to feel the melancholy of a landscape in winter, but also its great beauty.
The combination of cold colours is particularly subtle and seductive.
