Winter Landscape is a 1699 unspecified by Jan Griffier, a Baroque work, depicting Ice Skating, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a winter scene with snow and trees. It's interesting because the artist didn't usually paint landscapes like this. The artist's style is a bit different here, which makes some scholars question who really made it, and they think it might be based on a print, but they're not sure. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Jan Griffier (Dutch, 1648–1718).
A number of scholars have questioned the attribution because Griffier did not generally paint on copper and primarily painted hunting scenes. It may be based on a print, although the source has yet to be identified.
