About the piece

Painted in 1887 by Anton Doll, 'Winter Pleasures' depicts a nostalgic scene of communal activity on a frozen waterway. On the left, a multi-storied stone building with smoking chimneys suggests a cozy interior, while the right side opens up to a vast, icy expanse dotted with skaters and sleds. Doll’s masterful use of light and haze creates a soft, atmospheric quality that perfectly captures the stillness of a winter afternoon.
