A quiet, introspective moment as Lucas and his horse move through a muted, snowy field. The foreground is dominated by fresh snow, dotted with sparse vegetation peeking through, setting a scene of recent snowfall.

The rider, dressed in a yellow jacket and dark hat, provides a striking contrast against the predominantly white and grey background, which subtly recedes into a misty, undefined horizon. Wheeler’s use of soft pastels creates a soft texture that mimics the fluffy quality of snow, enhancing the painting’s immersive and chilly atmosphere.

The thoughtful placement of the horse and rider at the center underscores their isolation and the expansive nature of the landscape surrounding them.
