Description: | This stark image illustrates a cold, harsh winter. The heavily laden cart loaded with firewood is pulled along by the struggling horse. The great effort to ascend the steep hill is conveyed by the man pushing the cart with all his strength while another man whips the horse, illustrating the bleak mood of winter skilfully.
Oil painting of a gold and brown winter scene. A figure struggles to push a horse and cart uphill. Next to the horse is another figure with a whip. A bare and twisting tree breaks up the cloudy background and tracks from the cart can be seen on the ground. There are three other figures in the far distance. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Fine arts Oil painting Oil Paintings Georgian period Art collections | Temporal: | 1745 - 1800
