"Schaatsenrijden in Een Dorp" (Ice Skating in a Village) is a 1610 painting by Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp. It depicts a frozen canal in a Dutch village, with figures ice skating and engaging in other winter activities. The detailed depiction of the scene, including the architecture, clothing, and winter landscape, showcases Avercamp's skill as a genre painter and his mastery of capturing everyday life. This painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and it remains a popular example of the Dutch Golden Age's focus on everyday life and the beauty of nature.
