Winter is a 1720 oil by Joseph Van Aken, a Rococo painting work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a group of people gathered around a table in a room, with a fireplace to the right. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side that lets in a sliver of light. The people are dressed in formal attire, with the men wearing coats and hats, and the women wearing long dresses. They appear to be engaged in conversation, with some of them holding cups or other objects. In the background, there is a large painting on the wall above the fireplace, which adds to the sense of opulence and luxury in the room. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of warmth and comfort, with the fireplace and the group's conversation creating a cozy and intimate setting. The painting is held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you can see more works by Joseph Van Aken.
