This work references both the restrained colour palette of similar tones found in Hassam's earlier Boston scenes as well as the diagonal, expansive compositions found in his Parisian cityscapes. All contours are softened and details are minimised, rendered with dashes of brushstrokes that evoke the haziness of snowy and icy winter weather, and the figures and structures towards the background appear as silhouettes against a foggy, atmospheric sky. The cool tones of blue-black and deep green provide dynamic contrasts to the snow covered street composed with lively strokes of white pigment. This expressive application of paint helps to further emphasise the sense of active motion the artist strives to convey in almost all of his portrayals of city life.
