A couple engages in intercourse on an open veranda during winter. The man lifts the woman's robe to expose her lower body while leaning in from behind. Both wear layered kimono in muted tones. Snow-covered rooftops, boats, and distant mountains extend into the background. Long icicles hang from the veranda’s roof, framing the scene. A gnarled, snow-laden tree rises in the foreground, emphasizing the seasonal setting.
