“Red Sleigh on Winter Road” is an artwork by Maud Lewis, who is celebrated within the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This landscape piece encapsulates the essence of rural winter life through simplified forms and vibrant colors.
The artwork depicts a serene winter scene, dominated by a snow-covered road winding through a quaint countryside. In the foreground, a red sleigh drawn by two horses is central to the composition, conveying a sense of movement as it travels down the road. The background features red buildings, likely barns or houses, their bright hues striking against the white snow, while tall evergreen trees and distant hills complete the tranquil landscape. The use of bold colors and simple lines characteristic of Naïve Art infuses the piece with a charming and accessible quality.
