​Oil on canvas applied on canvas « Fritz Thaulow » on right, dated 76, located « Christiana Des». Provenance Vallberga (Laholm) Swedish private collection. The painted scene joins running water effects and snow effects. His running water effects were successful and the snow effects were successful as well. EH Moore wrote : "Many of his most effective canvases are little more than bits of foreground study, a few square feet of dooryard, with the suggestion of an unpretentious cottage;… a half-acre of snow covered meadow-mere trifles. But all poetic, imbued with the witchery of color, happy and optimistic in tone, and instinct with the personality of their maker. (...) No one knows quite so well as Thaulow how to make a red roof, a brick wall, an illuminated win dow, a mellow buttress, subserve the purpose of a happy color scheme; no one knows so well how to break the surface of water into ripples and eddies so as to furnish excuse for the reflection of his many hues."
