Ida used handmade translucent paper as his between and then printed an image of a road on the back and a stone on the front, creating the illusion of a stone resting on a fine layer of snow on a paved surface. A water stain, deliberately applied by the artist, appears at bottom right; seemingly random stains appear in several other prints by the artist.
