A 'Winter Race on the Snow' is a master painting in style of palette knife and oils by Leonid Afremov, skilfully depicting a moment from a contested horse race.
Despite the faces of the horse-racers are indistinguishable, but the riders’ tense figures and the horses with pulled muscles and muzzles directed to the finish line, show theirs will to win.
Only the white raising snow embracing horses’ figures, makes it harder for them to make their way through its freezing cloud and is trying to prevent them from galloping.
