About the piece

Attributed to Jan Brueghel the Younger and painted around 1620, this masterwork captures the vibrant communal life of a Flemish village in winter. The composition is teeming with intricate details, from the varied activities of the villagers on the ice to the delicate rendering of the frost-laden tree limbs, all set against a soft, atmospheric sky characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age style.
