Monet painted the painting while living in Argenteuil.[2] The solitary setting at his home there allowed him to paint in relative peace, as well as spend time with his family.[2] It is Monet's only known snowscape painting that features Camille Monet.[4] Since 1958, it has been in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio.[1]
