Description: | This winter scene with multiple figures on a frozen canal, framed by tall buildings and a windmill on the right, is attributed to Thomas Heeremans, active in Haarlem in the latter half of the seventeenth century. Two men are playing kolf (a precursor of modern golf), while others are sledging down the frozen surface. One is dangerously close to a square hole cut into the ice. A dense crowd of people with two horses gather around the ice-locked quay on the right. Three men in fine attire converse with a lady wearing a pink and blue dress. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Heeremans, Thomas (Dutch painter, ca. 1640-1697) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Avercamp, Berent Petersz.
