If every there was proof that snow isn't white nor a single tone... but also look at the saturated, glowing color in the chopped logs, the way light falls on the left shoulder and arm of the woman and the front edge of her headdress. Look at how the composition is divided, with a large area of empty foreground broken by the diagonal path of the figure, which also stretches up over the mountains uniting the whole composition.
