Stretched and framed. Two girls build a snowman in wintry scene of Jerome camp. One girl stands with her hands to her mouth
on the right, while another girl crouches in front of a small snowman with her back to the viewer, gazing up at the other
girl. A snow covered green dustpan lies at her feet. Both girls have cropped hair and are dressed in red tops, blue pants,
black boots and brown gloves. The snowman has a simple face of two eyes, eyebrows, straight mouth, and two nostrils. The porch
and steps of a barracks is visible at left. A snow covered bush stands in the right foreground. Three barracks are visible
in the background with snow laden roofs and smoking chimneys.
