While working with A.Y. Jackson, Robinson travelled through the areas of the St. Lawrence, capturing the landscape and surrounding communities. Here, the artist has depicted a winter scene along the St. Lawrence with blocks of ice floating on the river surface flanked by the shoreline blanketed in snow. The soft mountain forms in the background create a calm ethereal stillness within the composition both with the soft blue and lavender hues and the loose brushstrokes. One can imagine the calm that is brought by a new snowfall in winter, quieting the surroundings and establishing a natural tranquility.
