De Pottenmakersrei in Brugge tijdens de winter is a 1893 oil by Antoon Joostens, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Groeningemuseum.
The painting depicts a winter scene of a canal in a city, with snow-covered buildings and a bridge in the background. The sky is grey and cloudy, and the overall atmosphere is one of quietness and stillness. In the foreground, there are several people walking along the canal, dressed in winter clothing. The buildings on either side of the canal are old and ornate, with steeply pitched roofs and tall chimneys. The bridge in the background adds a sense of depth and perspective to the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of contrast between light and dark, adding to the overall mood of the scene.
