Ski tracks enter at the lower edge and lead the eye across the snow to a single figure standing with his back to the camera, poles planted, in a dark jacket, knee breeches and patterned stockings. To the left, a small boarded outbuilding and larger snow-laden roofs sit under a drift, a chimney rising above them; beyond, spruce and a forested ridge run across the frame. Contrast is high — the figure and the forest carry the deepest tones — while the lit snow retains texture in the tracks and drifts of the foreground.

Technical Details: Likely a gelatin silver print, mounted on cream card with deckled edges. The mount is inscribed in pencil «Fra Gupu» at lower left and signed «O. Christoffersen» at lower right; the verso carries the photographer's name in pencil. No date is recorded.
