The scene in this snow-covered panoramic landscape takes place on the outskirts of a village. Seasonal workers are busy cutting wood. Trees are the subject of their attention, some of which have been felled by the wind and others by an axe. A cart pulled by two horses is awaiting its load, while a woman stoops under the weight of the trunks.
