About the piece
Painted in 1687 by Abraham Storck, this work is a quintessential example of the Dutch winter landscape genre. It depicts a bustling community on the ice, with figures engaged in skating and transporting goods by horse-drawn sleds against the backdrop of an imposing brick fortress. The vast, atmospheric sky and muted tonal palette evoke the crisp, cold air of a late 17th-century afternoon.
