story of the work:

Jan van de Cappelle, a Dutch Golden Age painter, is not known to have created a work titled "Winter Scene" in c. 1825, as he lived from 1626 to 1679. It is possible that there is a misattribution or confusion with another artist or artwork, as van de Cappelle was renowned for his marine and winter landscapes during the 17th century.

Description of the work:

"Winter Scene" by Jan van de Cappelle, circa 1825, depicts a serene winter landscape characterized by a frozen river populated with figures engaged in ice skating and other winter activities, set against a backdrop of leafless trees and distant buildings under a pale, overcast sky. The composition is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a subtle palette of cool tones, effectively capturing the tranquil atmosphere of a winter's day.
