La Néva gelée is a 1913 oil by Félix Vallotton, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a cityscape under a dark, cloudy sky. The city is painted in shades of gray and brown, with a few buildings standing out against the lighter-colored ground. The artist has used a range of brushstrokes to create texture and depth in the painting. The sky is particularly striking, with thick, heavy clouds that seem to weigh down on the city below.
