About the piece

Painted around 1615 by the master of winter scenes Hendrick Avercamp, this quintessential Dutch Golden Age work depicts a community gathering on a frozen waterway. The artist's famous attention to detail is showcased in the hundreds of tiny, individual figures and the atmospheric, pale sky that perfectly captures the chill of a winter morning.
