Delatouche’s mastery of the reflective quality of light on snow and on water reveals the influence that Post Impressionism had on the artist early on in his career.  The whiteness of the snow reflects the chromatic intensity of the blueish and orange hues that vividly appear in the glowing sky. 

As the sun sets, dusk reveals a counterpoint of colors, with darker, mysterious shadows at play that contrast with the vibrancy of lighter tonalities that heighten the emotional content of this serenely radiant composition. 

For Delatouche, ‘painting is a meditation on sensual impressions and picture making, and the relationship between the two.'
