About the piece
Painted in 1681 by Thomas Heeremans, this oil on panel work is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age winter scenes. The composition masterfully balances the architectural detail of the inn with the expansive, activity-filled frozen river, all bathed in the soft, muted light of a cold winter day.
