1. Medium: Watercolor on paper

2. Shapes and objects: A winter landscape featuring a snow-covered field in the foreground. There's a small house or cottage with a chimney on the right side. A bare tree stands near the house. In the background, there are snow-covered mountains or hills. Two small figures can be seen walking on a path towards the house. The sky is a muted, stormy grey.

3. Colours: Predominantly white and light blue for the snow. Brown and beige for the house and tree. Grey and blue tones for the sky and distant mountains. Small touches of color for the figures.

4. Narrative: This painting captures the quiet beauty of a winter day in a rural setting. The isolated house and bare tree emphasize the starkness of the winter landscape. The two figures walking towards the house add a human element, suggesting warmth and shelter amid the cold surroundings. The grey sky hints at more snow to come, adding a sense of urgency to the figures' journey. Overall, the scene evokes feelings of solitude, the harsh beauty of winter, and the contrast between the vast, cold landscape and the promise of warmth and safety represented by the house.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are reminiscent of the winter landscapes painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a 16th-century Flemish Renaissance painter. Bruegel was known for his detailed depictions of peasant life and winter scenes.

A comparable work might be Bruegel's "Hunters in the Snow" (1565), though Fahimi's painting has its own unique elements and uses a more modern, watercolor technique. Bruegel's works can be found in major museums worldwide, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

However, the simplicity and emotive quality of the scene also bring to mind some of the winter landscapes of American artist Andrew Wyeth, known for his stark, emotionally charged rural scenes.

While Fahimi's painting is clearly his own, it seems to blend influences from both Renaissance winter landscapes and more contemporary approaches to capturing the essence of a snow-covered rural scene. The painting continues the tradition of finding beauty and meaning in the stark simplicity of winter landscapes.
