Winter Refuge: Man and Horse by the Fire

More about Winter Refuge: Man and Horse by the Fire

An highly detailed oil painting depicts a bearded man in a dark blue military jacket, light brown pants, and black tall boots sitting on a tree stump in a snowy forest, warming himself by a campfire. He wears a dark grey hat and a brown leather strap over his right shoulder, leading to a small brown satchel on his hip. His hands are clasped between his knees as he looks down at the fire. Next to him, a brown horse, saddled with a leather saddle and stirrups, stands facing left, emitting white mist from its body as it also keeps warm near the fire. The ground is covered in white snow, with hints of brown leaves and light blue shadows. Behind the man and horse, a sparse forest of bare trees with dark trunks and branches extends into the background, where a tall evergreen tree stands to the left of the man and a white birch tree stands to the left of the horse. The sky is a muted light blue, indicating an overcast winter day.
