Inside a house, before a snowy night landscape, a peasant couple warms themselves by the fire next to a table with a prepared dinner. Possibly the scene alludes to the myth of hades and persephone linked to winter, during which persephone lives in the underworld with hades, her kidnapper, rejecting the food he prepares to keep her in his kingdom.
