Wintergezicht 1661 - 1693

Gerrit Grasdorp's "Wintergezicht" (Winter Landscape) from 1661-1693 depicts a frozen canal with people ice skating, a horse-drawn sleigh and a group of figures walking. This Dutch Golden Age drawing shows a peaceful winter scene with delicate brushstrokes, characteristic of Grasdorp's style, which favored watercolors and drawings. The artwork offers a glimpse into everyday life in 17th-century Holland, highlighting the popularity of winter recreation and the picturesque nature of the Dutch landscape.
