This painting captures a quiet urban street in winter, with historic stone buildings softened by snow. The muted palette, punctuated by warm light reflecting off windows, evokes a cozy atmosphere. Cullen’s impressionistic technique brings life to the simple charm of Montreal’s historic architecture.
