A dark, winding stream flows through the center of the scene, flanked by patches of bare earth and snow. The background is composed of a dense forest of evergreen trees and leafless deciduous trees set against a pale sky. The artist signature C. HOOVER is located in the lower left corner in red paint. The painting is housed in a tiered wooden frame with a light colored fabric liner and gilded accents. A label on the verso from The Framer's Gallery in Port Perry, Ontario, includes the name Colleen Yorke.

Condition: The painting displays visible craquelure throughout the darker passages of the forest and trees. There are minor surface scuffs and light dust accumulation.
