About the piece

Painted around 1655 by Aert van der Neer, this classic Dutch Golden Age work captures the lively atmosphere of a community on ice. The composition is defined by its low horizon and expansive, moody sky—a hallmark of Van der Neer's specialized winter landscapes which remain among the most celebrated examples of the genre.
