Winterlandschap met ijsvermaak 1620 - 1706

This anonymous etching, "Winterlandschap met ijsvermaak," depicts a frozen canal with figures ice skating and playing games. The scene is set in a Dutch village, with a ruined building in the right foreground and trees lining the canal. The delicate lines and detailed rendering of the figures and landscape are characteristic of Dutch etching from the 17th century. This small-scale print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the everyday life and winter pastimes of Dutch citizens during this period.
