Set in a quiet, snow-covered Moscow, the scene captures the stillness of early morning as church bells signal the dawn. The streets are largely deserted, with only an occasional night cabman or an old woman heading to church. While workmen begin their day, the gentlefolk remain in the evening's embrace. A flickering light from Chevalier's Restaurant hints at clandestine activities, contrasting with the chilly atmosphere outside, where various modes of transport await in the cold. The vivid imagery evokes a sense of tranquility and mystery in the city.
