winter landscape

Snow-covered terrain view

A winter landscape is a scene of land covered in snow or showing other signs of winter—bare trees, frozen water, grey skies.

The term appears frequently in art history, describing paintings that depict such scenes: The museum's collection includes several Dutch winter landscapes from the 17th century.

More broadly, any wintry outdoor view: We woke to a winter landscape of frost and fog.
