The mural shows a snow-covered hill in an impressive contrast of black and white. At the top of the hill stands a solitary tree whose silhouette stands out against the bright sky. The monochrome colour scheme reinforces the calm and melancholy mood of the picture. Numerous dark shadows can be seen running across the glistening blanket of snow, forming interesting patterns and lending depth to the picture.
