Description: | This winter landscape features a frozen river, a cottage with a steep, snow-covered roof set between two gnarled trees on the right bank, and a village with a church and trees beyond on the left bank. Two men play 'kolf' (a precursor of modern golf) on the ice; a boy looks on; a woman and a child stand near the cottage. The attribution of the painting is debatable. The composition marked by a low horizon, few figures and a certain roughness in the execution is reminiscent of Esaias van de Velde, a follower of Vinckboons. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Neer, Aert van der (Dutch painter, 1603-1677) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to circle of Velde, Esaias van de, I (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1587-1630) Attributed to circle of Velde, Esaias van de, I (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1587-1630) Previously attributed to Vinckboons, David (Flemish painter, 1576-ca. 1632) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8562... | Go to resource |
