This small but evocative painting captures the majestic beauty of the Alps, with a focus on the towering mountain peaks covered in snow. The foreground shows lush greenery and trees in the valley, painted with bold, expressive brushstrokes that convey the vibrancy and texture of the alpine landscape. The mountains rise steeply in the background, their rugged surfaces highlighted by the contrast between light and shadow.

Gagnon's use of color is rich and varied, with the yellows and greens in the valley providing a stark contrast to the cool whites and blues of the snow-capped mountains. The sky is rendered in soft, creamy hues, giving the scene a sense of the atmosphere and altitude of the high mountains.

The provenance of the painting includes the Clarence Gagnon Catalogue #552, Galerie Walter Klinkhoff in Montreal, and Dedora Custom Framing in Toronto. This piece is characteristic of Gagnon's work, showcasing his skill in capturing the grandeur and serenity of mountainous landscapes.
