Dividing the two halves is a horizontal line outlined with buildings the church tower at the centre of the painting has been identified to be the bell tower of the church of St-Pierre de Montrouge, which was built in the 1860s in the Petit-Montrouge district of Paris. The lower half of the painting is depicted in coarse brushtrokes that showcase a snowy landscape. The upper half features an almost monochromatic grey sky. The painting is divided horizontally into two halves. Today this work is in the collection of the National Museum Cardiff. It is one of the few landscapes in Manet's oeuvre, and is one of his first plein air paintings. The image reflects Manet's loss of hope about the military situation, his profound loneliness, and the deprivation he suffered during this time.


As opposed to the history painters of his time, Manet does not show a heroic view of battle, but rather the dusky ambiance of a looming battle. Manet painted this picture while a member of the National Guard during the 1870–71 Siege of Paris of the Franco-Prussian War. The oil on canvas painting shows a winter view of Petit-Montrouge, an area in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. The 61.6cm x 50.4cm oil on canvas composition depicts the 14th arrondissement's district, Petit-Montrouge, under a wintry landscape.
