About the piece
Painted by the preeminent Dutch landscape artist Jacob van Ruisdael around 1670, this scene depicts a frozen canal on the outskirts of a village. The low sun catches the edges of heavy, dark clouds, casting a warm glow against the cold, snow-laden roofs and icy ground where figures gather to skate and socialize.
