Winter Landscape 1653

"Winter Landscape" (1653) by Jan van Goyen is a detailed black chalk drawing depicting a frozen canal in the Netherlands. The artwork portrays figures skating and playing on the ice, while others gather in a tent, a windmill stands in the background, and a distant church steeple is visible in the distance. The scene evokes a sense of everyday life in the Dutch countryside, a subject commonly explored by van Goyen. The drawing is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
