The "Thaw" appears to depict a snow melting scene, done in an expressive manner with thick, textured strokes of paint. The upper part of the canvas is made in light gray and white tones, which fade into dark gray, creating the feeling of a cloudy sky hanging over the stage. The central part of the painting is a mixture of earthy, yellow and green tones, which may symbolize the grass and earth exposed under the melting snow. Individual strokes of brown and dark green are visible, which adds detail and depth to the painting. The foreground is dominated by cooler shades of white, blue and gray, giving the impression of lying snow. The paint strokes are applied in such a way that a feeling of unevenness and variability of the surface is created, emphasizing the process of melting snow. The paint strokes are irregular and dynamic, giving the scene a sense of movement and life. The artist's signature on the lower right side adds a finishing touch and emphasizes the authorship of the work.
