This painting shows a winter scene with people ice skating on a frozen river. The river winds through the center of the image, lined with bare trees and small buildings. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered near the riverbank, watching the skaters. The painting features a range of colors, from the dark greens and browns of the trees and buildings to the pale blues and whites of the ice and sky. The overall effect is one of quiet activity and peacefulness. You might also like to explore more works by Frans de Momper.
