About the piece
Created in 1641 by the Dutch master Jan van Goyen, this painting is a quintessential example of his tonal style. The work features a low horizon line that emphasizes the grandeur of the sky, rendered in a delicate palette of blues and grays that perfectly captures the chilly, hazy light of a winter day on the ice.
