Winter Respite 

Hugo Mühlig's painting depicts a snowy forest scene with a group of figures gathered around a fire. In the foreground, a white horse stands harnessed, suggesting a pause in their journey or work. The figures are bundled against the cold and appear to be taking a respite in the winter woods, perhaps loggers or travelers. The scene evokes a sense of solitude and the harshness of the winter landscape, a common theme in Mühlig's work.
