Note du spécialiste

Thomas Heeremans was strongly influenced by the work of the slightly earlier Haarlem painter, Claes Molenaer. Like Molenaer, he specialised in winter village scenes with frozen riverside views; Heeremans' works, however, are typically of a brighter palette and enlivened with numerous villagers skating, sledging, and conversing, as in the present work and a slightly earlier picture, dated 1677, formerly in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden.
