Although the author of this composition chose not to name it, the main subject evokes the image of Snow White. Surrounded by the glowing beauty of a winter forest, the young princess appears to be quite at ease interacting with wild creatures. Three birds gathered around her sing out in joy while she gently moves tree branches aside. Her affectionate gaze falls on a friendly squirrel who, squatting inside the tree smiles back at the princess. The dominant colors in the composition are light blue, silver, and gold. The princesse's garments have subtle lilac undertones created by fine strokes.
