"Frost Fair on the Thames" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Abraham Danielsz Hondius, created in 1677. The work depicts one of the festive frost fairs that took place on the River Thames during the period known as the Little Ice Age, when the river would occasionally freeze solid enough to support such events. These fairs were a cultural phenomenon in London, featuring a variety of activities including ice skating, temporary pubs, and market stalls on the ice.

Hondius, who moved to England in the 1660s, was known for his landscapes and hunting scenes. In "Frost Fair on the Thames," he captures the lively atmosphere of the fair with a keen eye for detail and a sense of the bustling energy of the occasion. The painting serves as a valuable historical record of these unique events, which ceased to occur after the 19th century when the climate grew milder and the Thames no longer froze over as it once did.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentary value, providing insight into the social history of 17th-century London and the ways in which people interacted with the natural world during extreme weather events. "Frost Fair on the Thames" is an important work within Hondius's oeuvre and offers a glimpse into a bygone era when the frozen Thames transformed into a winter wonderland for Londoners.
