"De winterze tijd-verdrijf" (Wintertime Pastime) is a 1725-1780 print by Johannes (II) Kannewet, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This intricate artwork consists of 25 small scenes depicting various winter activities, including ice skating, sledding, and other forms of amusement. The scenes are arranged in a grid format, each framed with a short inscription in Dutch. This print, a testament to the rich tradition of Dutch printmaking, captures the joy and leisure of wintertime in 18th-century Netherlands.
