Description
Photograph of two children and a snow woman, ca.1930. Two young girls stand to the right of a tall snow woman in the foreground. Both girls are clad in dark-colored winter wear, a stark contrast with the bright white of the snow woman, who stands with a skirt-like structure for a base, a breasted chest, and face carved with what appears to be coal and pine needles. In the background is a snowy embankment lined with trees.
