An Ice Track on a Frozen River is a 1643 oil by Jan van Goyen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting shows a frozen river with people ice-skating and horse-drawn sleighs. There's a village in the background with a church steeple. The sky is cloudy and gray. The painting has a lot of detail, with many people and animals. It's done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look. The artist used a lot of brown and gray colors to create a somber mood.
