Description
Across the Silent Snow by P. Buckley Moss
Content & Subject
Across the Silent Snow is a hand-signed, rare, limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss, published exclusively for the 1995 P. Buckley Moss Collectors’ Convention in Ames, Iowa. The artwork is from the P. Buckley Moss Cow, Barn and Sleigh Collections and depicts a quiet, peaceful winter scene featuring an Amish figure traveling by horse-drawn sleigh across a snowy landscape. A distinctive round barn, a country church, and grazing cows complete the setting, evoking the serenity of rural life.
Style & Technique
Moss captures the stillness of winter with her signature folk-art style, using muted tones and elongated forms. The horse and sleigh add movement and life to the otherwise tranquil scene, balancing the composition with warmth and tradition.
Across the Silent Snow is a hand-signed, numbered, limited edition print—giving it even greater value since hand signatures will no longer be a part of what we have been used to through the generosity of Moss’s time and her love of meeting and having conversations with the collectors that enjoyed her work.
Mood & Inspiration
The mood of Across the Silent Snow is peaceful, nostalgic, and reverent. It reflects Moss’s deep appreciation for Amish life and rural landscapes, while also commemorating a special moment in her artistic journey—the 1995 Collectors’ Convention.
Placement & Gift Ideas
Across the Silent Snow, rare convention piece is a treasured find for collectors, particularly those who attended or are connected to the Ames, Iowa event. It is also a meaningful gift for admirers of Amish culture, snowy winter scenes, or Moss’s depictions of rural heritage.

Fun Fact 🐴❄️
Horses were an essential part of winter farm life before modern vehicles. Sleighs like the one shown here were not only practical for snowy travel, but often decorated and cherished, turning everyday farm chores into moments of beauty and tradition. The round barn in the background is also a nod to real Midwestern farm architecture, designed to improve efficiency and protect livestock from harsh winter winds.
Collector’s Insight 🎨🌾
Collectors are drawn to this piece for its classic P. Buckley Moss winter Americana storytelling—where gentle humor, rural architecture, and animal life come together in perfect balance. The motion of the horse against the stillness of the snow-covered farm creates visual harmony that feels timeless. Works like this are especially appealing to collectors who appreciate Moss’s ability to preserve disappearing rural traditions with warmth, nostalgia, and quiet charm.
