"Skaters on a Frozen Waterway, A 'Koek en Zopie' in the Distance" is a 19th-century painting by German artist Carl Eduard Ahrendts, known for his detailed and atmospheric winter landscapes. The painting captures a quintessential winter scene, depicting a group of individuals enjoying the leisure activity of ice skating on a frozen waterway. The term 'Koek en Zopie' refers to a traditional Dutch refreshment stand, which literally translates to "cake and sip," serving food and drinks to skaters and winter enthusiasts. These stands often became social hubs during the winter months in the Netherlands and are a recurring motif in Dutch and Flemish winter landscape paintings.

Ahrendts' work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the ability to convey the crispness of the winter air and the texture of the ice. The figures in the painting are rendered with care, each one suggesting a story or a particular character, while the distant 'Koek en Zopie' invites curiosity about the warmth and conviviality found there. The painting not only offers a glimpse into the winter pastimes of the era but also reflects the cultural significance of communal outdoor activities in European winters.

The painting is a fine example of genre art, where the artist focuses on scenes of everyday life, providing insight into the customs and practices of the time. Carl Eduard Ahrendts' work, including "Skaters on a Frozen Waterway, A 'Koek en Zopie' in the Distance," is appreciated for its historical value as well as its artistic merit, offering a window into the 19th-century winter landscape genre and the social life of the period.
