Early March

The painting depicts a winter day filled with the charm of tranquility and the easy hope of spring. The sun, which has already risen quite high above the horizon, shines bright, warm rays, making the blanket of snow sparkle. The birch trees seem to be ready to bloom their tender buds soon. The dark blue stream of the river counteracts the brightness of the snow, creating a fascinating contrast. The water is already beginning to flow with greater force, foreshadowing close warmth. This painting is not just an image of a winter landscape, but rather a foretaste of the renewal and revival of nature, when cold gives way to warmth and life.
