A color illustration. A caravan of yaks travels through the Himalayas during a severe winter storm along a rocky slope; the ground is white, blanketed in snow, and the animals’ legs sink in, making their progress difficult. The Mongols accompanying them are heavily bundled up, wearing gear that includes boots made of animal hide. Some travel on foot, guiding the pack yaks, while others ride the animals. The sky is dark and heavy with storm clouds; the entire scene appears whitish and frigid—nearly frozen—with a layer of grayish snow clinging to the animals’ coats and the riders’ clothing. In the distance, snow-capped peaks are partially obscured by mist.
