About the piece
Painted in 1668, Adriaen van de Velde’s winter landscape captures the social vibrancy of the Dutch Golden Age. Figures gather on the ice near Haarlem to play kolf—a precursor to modern golf—while others glide in sleds or observe the match. The composition is defined by its vast, luminous sky and the delicate rendering of light reflecting off the frozen surface, showcasing the artist's mastery of atmosphere and everyday life.
