Winter in the Country is a 1896 oil by Jervis McEntee, a American Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This painting shows a winter landscape with a frozen pond in the foreground. In the distance, there are rolling hills and mountains under a gray sky. Several people are ice skating on the pond, and one person is standing on the bank, watching them. The painting has a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the soft colors of the winter landscape and the gentle activity of the people on the pond. The artist has captured the feeling of a cold winter's day, with the frozen pond and the snow-covered hills in the background.
