About the piece

Created in 1646 by the Dutch master Philips Wouwerman, this painting captures a moment of winter leisure on the ice. An ornate sleigh, adorned with decorative plumes and a swan-like front, is prepared for an outing while children and travelers gather near humble thatched-roof cottages. Wouwerman’s characteristic skill in painting horses and figures is evident in this atmospheric winter landscape.
