About the Object

A winter scene set in the Soho neighborhood of Belleville, New Jersey. A red building on the right side is balanced by a leafless tree on the left. A drift of snow that hooks around the building is echoed by a body of water at the far left, which curves under a red bridge. The slopping horizon line features the suggestion of cloud-like grey hedges.
