About the piece

Painted in 1892 by Jaroslav Věšín, this charming realist scene depicts a lively moment of village life in winter. Set against a backdrop of snow-dusted timber cottages and a heavy winter sky, figures in traditional dress engage in a spirited snowball fight near a resting horse and sleigh. Věšín’s masterful brushwork captures the soft texture of fresh snow and the dynamic movement of the figures, creating a nostalgic and heartwarming window into rural history.
