The image is a black and white photograph of an old biplane, specifically an Aviatik Doppeldecker, on a frozen lake. The biplane is a single-engine, single-seat aircraft with a large wing and a single propeller. It is painted in a camouflage pattern and has two people sitting in the cockpit. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in snow. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
