This picture was painted in his later years, when Znamierowski was 74. Although at the end of the 1960s academic realism was gradually abandoned, he seemed to return to his youth. With the sight of the rivulet meandering towards the background, the clear contrasts of blue shadows and pink-white snow, the layered brushstrokes of warm and cold colours, this style of painting is characteristic of the realistic painting of the earlier period influenced by Impressionism. This is one of the best works from his late period.
