About the artwork

A tranquil, almost magical winter landscape unfolds in this Christmassy work. A snow-covered forest spreads out in the background, while the low sun colours the sky in warm, soft tones. Its light refracts on the calm river that runs through the scene, creating sparkling, mirror-like reflections that put the viewer in a peaceful, contemplative mood.

In the foreground, a red Christmas tree ball hangs from a fir branch covered in snow. Its shiny surface reflects the water flowing beneath it and lends the composition a delicate, festive note. On the right of the picture, a partially frozen waterfall draws the eye as it plunges its water into the river below, emphasising the interplay of movement and stillness in the wintry scenery.

Here and there, snowflakes can be seen falling softly, gently touching the scene and making the wintry atmosphere appear even more sensual and tranquil. The composition strikes a balance between attention to detail and atmospheric depth: every breath of snowflake on the branches, the glow of the sun on the horizon and the gentle reflections of light in the water contribute to the poetic mood. The work invites you to immerse yourself in the moment in which nature and festive symbolism merge and conveys a quiet contemplation that makes the winter cold and Christmas warmth palpable at the same time.
