This original 1979 painting by Rosmarie Beelden depicts a snow-covered village street, alive with figures beneath umbrellas rendered in cool gradations of blue and gray. The rhythmic curves of rooftops and canopies lead the eye through a procession of winter forms, evoking both folk charm and modernist composition.
Beelden’s work is celebrated for its poetic minimalism — gentle, almost musical repetition of lines and tones that suggest peace, community, and resilience in rural life. The piece is beautifully preserved in its original brass-tone frame and cream mat, as mounted by Encadrement Super Plus Inc., Montreal (label verso).
