A snow-covered mountain with two distinct peaks is centrally positioned in the image, its highest point slightly towards the top center. The mountain's snowy slopes are reflected in the dark, still water of a river or lake that fills the lower portion of the image. The reflection of the mountain is almost symmetrical to the mountain itself. The sky above is overcast with a mix of light grey and darker storm clouds. A line of bare deciduous trees, their branches and trunks dusted with snow, stretches across the middle ground along the far bank of the water, from the left edge to the right edge of the frame. In the upper left corner, a network of bare, snow-covered tree branches extends diagonally downwards and rightwards into the frame, partially obscuring the sky and mountain behind. The ground in the foreground along the near bank of the water is also covered in snow.
