In winter 1880

"In Winter" is an oil painting by American artist Daniel Ridgway Knight, completed in 1880. The artwork depicts three young women in traditional dress, conversing on a snowy path in a rural setting. The women, likely peasant girls, are depicted with a sense of realism and detail, reflecting Knight’s interest in depicting everyday life. The painting’s soft, muted palette and detailed brushwork contribute to the scene’s peaceful and melancholic atmosphere, evocative of the quietude of a winter landscape.
