This illustration depicts a squirrel standing on a snow-covered street, holding a Montreal bagel. The animal wears a knitted scarf and matching tuque, with pinecones scattered nearby. Snow falls lightly, and the surrounding street appears empty, emphasizing a pause within the winter setting.
The scene references everyday winter life in Montreal through simple visual cues: snowfall, urban ground textures, and a recognizable local food item. The squirrel’s posture and clothing place the animal within a human-scale environment without turning the scene into narrative action.
The composition focuses on seasonal atmosphere and familiar urban details. Wildlife, food, and winter conditions are presented clearly, using a contemporary folk illustration style to frame an ordinary moment within a cold-weather city setting.
