The painting "Station in Winter" by Ernest Luthi is a picturesque depiction of a serene, snowy landscape in a small town. The central focus of the composition is an old, weathered train station, likely a vital hub in its heyday but now exuding a quiet, nostalgic charm. The station's architecture, with its vertical build and flat roof, stands prominently against a backdrop of overcast winter sky, hinting at the cold, crisp air.


The station's walls bear the marks of time, with advertisements faintly visible, suggesting the station’s once pivotal role in the community. Adjacent to the station are lower buildings, their rooftops blanketed in snow, illustrating the stillness of a winter's day. The use of muted, earthy colours combined with touches of white for the snow creates a subtle contrast that emphasizes the tranquility and isolation of winter.


Luthi's brushwork is expressive and loose, with visible strokes that add texture and movement to the scene, conveying the raw beauty of the winter and the rustic charm of the architecture. The foreground is an expanse of untouched snow, with a few tracks that draw the viewer's eye towards the station, inviting contemplation of the scene's quiet beauty and the passage of time that it represents.
