"Winter Landscape with Figures Skating on a Frozen Dutch River" is a 17th-century oil painting by Cornelis Beelt, a Dutch Golden Age artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes. This painting captures a quintessential winter scene in the Netherlands during a period when the so-called Little Ice Age made Dutch waterways a popular setting for ice skating and winter festivities.

The painting depicts a lively scene of figures engaging in various activities on the ice, with some skating, others playing kolf (an early form of golf), and groups gathered in conversation. The attention to detail in the figures' clothing and the rendering of the ice reflects the social and cultural aspects of Dutch life at the time. The composition is balanced with a perspective that leads the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, towards the horizon where the frozen river vanishes into the distance, flanked by leafless trees and modest Dutch architecture.

Cornelis Beelt's work is characterized by his use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the cold, crisp atmosphere of winter. His paintings often feature a delicate palette of blues and whites, which is evident in this work, where the cool tones enhance the sense of a chilly winter's day.

"Winter Landscape with Figures Skating on a Frozen Dutch River" is not only a fine example of Beelt's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document of the leisure activities and social interactions of the Dutch during the winter months. The painting is a testament to the enduring popularity of winter scenes in Dutch art and provides insight into the country's climate and cultural history during the 17th century.
