A misty freezing winter morning and a young boy is fallen through the thin ice on a pond with a girl is lying down on the ice stretched out from the edge holding out a stick towards the boy. A duck and a small dog stand on the ice watching them with a man holding the lead of the dog standing on the edge of the pond in the foreground.
