A wintry scene showing a narrow, snow-lined street dotted with figures, seen from a high vantage point. In the left and right foreground are tall brick buildings, which frame the view. At street level, the buildings house shops and tea rooms, each with signs suspended from their walls; the sign in the right bottom corner, although only partially visible, reads: 'Commen / Dinin / Room / Frank'. Many of the buildings are several storeys high with their roofs and chimney stacks laden with snow. The figures populating the scene are all dressed in long, heavy coats and winter hats. At the end of the street, the junction appears to fork in several directions with the road ahead running downhill. The sky is monochrome as if heavy with snow. It is all very simplistically painted.
