The simplified forms and bold black lines create a striking visual effect. Kustodiev's work is known for its vibrant colors and lively depictions of everyday life, and "Winter" is a testament to his ability to capture the atmosphere of a particular place and time.

This piece is a powerful example of his mastery of the woodcut medium, demonstrating his ability to express depth and detail using only black ink.
