"Jaagd en ryd, in wintertyd" (Hunting and Riding in Wintertime) is an engraved print by Johannes Scheffers, dating from 1789 to 1826. The artwork depicts two scenes of winter activities: in the upper scene, a group of people are riding in a sleigh pulled by a horse, while in the lower scene, two people are loading sacks onto a cart. The print is a satire on Dutch social life and customs, as the figures are exaggerated and their actions are humorous. This print is an example of Scheffers's skill in creating satirical art and his ability to capture the details of everyday life. The print is a valuable historical document as it provides insights into Dutch life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
