Salvatore Tresca's "Nivôse (21 december – 20 januari)" from 1792-1794 is a black and white engraving depicting a woman seated indoors. Her gaze is directed downwards, and her right hand is raised in a gesture of contemplation or address. The scene is set in a wintry landscape, with a bare tree visible outside the window. The artist's detailed rendering of the woman's clothing and the soft, atmospheric light adds depth and realism to the composition. This artwork is a testament to Tresca's skill as an engraver and offers a glimpse into the representation of women and winter landscapes during the late 18th century.
