What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

This image depicts a figure crafted of snow, having a stout, rounded form with a joyful face and a carrot as its nose. Upon its head rests a large cup, used perhaps for serving warm beverages, but here it serves as a whimsical hat. The figure is adorned with a scarf around its neck, suggesting attempts to offer warmth against winter''s chill, symbolic perhaps rather than practical.Around this snowy figure, four small birds are illustrated, each wearing a simple cap, as if to protect themselves from cold. They seem to dance merrily around the snow figure, which though inanimate, appears to partake in their frolic as a benevolent guardian of joy amidst a winter scene.In explaining to someone from the 15th century, you might describe this scene as an artistic rendering of winter amusements, where figures made from snow are dressed in human attire and accompanied by lively, cap-wearing birds in a playful display of seasonal celebration.
