About the piece

Painted in 1640 by Dutch master Caesar van Everdingen, this work is a serene allegory of winter. It features a soft chiaroscuro effect that draws focus to the delicate lace of the woman's cap and the subtle warmth radiating from the embers, offering a timeless and sophisticated presence for traditional living spaces.
