The painting created by the author enchants with its expressiveness and richness, conveying the magic of a pre-sunset snowy evening.The central element of the composition is the golden-orange glow of the setting sun, which envelops the winter landscape and fills it with magic. Magnificent golden distances and fiery reflections of the sunset contrast with the silhouette of a lonely hut and the delicate lace of purple snow. Light, symbolizing life and hope, breaks through the clouds, penetrates the winter forest and is reflected on the surface of a thawed stream. Orange-golden rays gently envelop the forest space, warming the silent distance and snowy branches of the fir trees. The warm glow of the sunset illuminates the tree trunks, creating piercing reflections on the water and giving the whole scene a picturesque trepidation. Every detail of the landscape, from the gray snow to the majestic fir trees, is depicted with a deep sense of love and attention to nature, forming a unique poetic image. The gloomy forest is filled with light, giving the viewer a feeling of hope and confidence in the future, emphasizing the philosophical thought of the fleetingness of time and the inevitability of change.

Klever and the date 1912 are visible, testifying to the high skill and talent of the artist.
