December Sunday by Nicholas Hornyansky captures a winter landscape, likely in a rural or village setting. A snow-covered road takes the viewer into the composition, leading to a church or chapel with a prominent spire, which is a central feature of the image.


Surrounding buildings, possibly homes or barns, are covered in snow, adding to the wintry atmosphere. Bare trees and a muted color palette of blues and whites evoke the coldness of December, while the sky suggests an overcast day.


The image conveys a quiet, almost reverent mood, appropriate for a Sunday in December, which may imply a day of rest or religious observance. The lack of visible human activity enhances the stillness of the scene.


Hornyansky's technique shows a masterful use of shading and line to create texture and depth, particularly in the snow, which appears to have been disturbed by the passage of people or vehicles. The signature of the artist and the title of the work are written at the bottom, providing context and authenticity to the print.
