About the piece
Painted in 1664 by Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraaten, this bustling scene depicts life on the frozen IJ river in Amsterdam. The composition features a wealth of narrative detail—from skaters and sleds to the historic Paalhuis—all rendered with the atmospheric light and architectural precision characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
