A snowy rural landscape with bare, branching trees at left, a small red farm building with snow-covered roof in the middle distance, and a few dark figures walking along a path through the snow. The card's own caption names it simply "Winter in the Country," a generic seasonal view of the sort widely issued in the early 20th century for holiday and greeting correspondence rather than as a record of a specific place.
