A brook or small stream is captured by the artist after a fresh snowfall. C.R. Tucker was an advocate for photographing during the Winter, and his article: “The Pleasures of Winter Photography”  appeared in the December, 1907 issue of  Suburban Life magazine. The following excerpt is from the first page:

“Snow landscapes, if well made, are always a delight; but don’t try to include too much in your picture. A fence and a few snow-covered trees, a winding path, or a bit of a brook, will be better than the whole hillside.” 

Some of the artist’s early snow landscapes like this example undoubtedly influenced the writing of the 1907 article.

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
