About the piece

Painted by Pieter-Frans De Noter in 1838, this work captures the quiet energy of a Belgian winter. The detailed brickwork of Ghent’s characteristic gabled houses provides a warm anchor to the cool, expansive sky and the lively activity of figures on the frozen canal, rendered with masterful atmospheric perspective.
