About this work
Seen from an elevated vantage point, a jumble of snow-covered rooftops, chimneys, a church spire and an antenna fills the composition beneath a darkening evening sky. Leafless trees stand between the buildings, a pale full moon glows near the top edge, and a handful of windows show warm yellow light against the otherwise darkened facades.
Painted in muted blue-grey, mauve and soft brown tones, the scene relies on subtle tonal gradation rather than strong contrast to convey the hush of dusk settling over the city. The smooth, restrained brushwork and cool color harmony create a quiet, melancholic mood of a winter evening closing in over rooftops.
