The print captures the essence of daily life in that era, showcasing both men and women eagerly participating in a thrilling sled race. The artist skillfully depicts a snowy landscape with a steep hillside as the backdrop for this exciting event. Horses pull beautifully crafted sleds while their drivers expertly navigate through the snow-covered terrain.
