The motif shows a boy standing by his sled on a footpath with settled snow and a hard surface. Parallel tracks run into the image and turn slightly left in the middle ground, with layering from foreground to background. The figure sits close to the center line and provides scale against fence posts to the right and scrub to the left, with an indication of a roadway on the left side. The surface produces bright reflective streaks in the tracks, with soft shadows and moderate contrast in grayscale.

Technical Details: Gelatin silver print on the original mount, with documented inscriptions and a verso label. Signature “O. Christoffersen” lower right; pencil “Gutten og kjelken” and “333” lower left; OKK label on the verso (1946).
