This watercolour heightened with white is a bleak picture of the laborious toil of these women who carry heavy bags of coal on their heads and shoulders and trudge through the snow of a cold Netherlands winter. The drab browns and blues of the dark figures clearly silhouetted against the snowy ground, the regular bare trees spaced out along the road and the black shapes of birds in the fields are highly evocative. The viewer can sense Van Gogh's sympathy for these women.
