"Winter Scene 1857" is a painting by American artist George Henry Durrie (1820–1863), known for his idyllic winter landscapes that capture the essence of rural New England life in the mid-19th century. Durrie's work gained widespread recognition posthumously when his paintings were reproduced as lithographic prints by Currier and Ives, thus becoming iconic images of American pastoral life.

Completed in 1857, "Winter Scene" is a quintessential example of Durrie's genre, depicting a serene snow-covered landscape. The painting typically features a farmhouse with smoke curling from the chimney, signifying the warmth of hearth and home against the cold. Durrie's attention to detail renders the crispness of the snow and the stark, leafless trees with a realism that was highly regarded during his time. The inclusion of figures and animals in the composition, such as townsfolk and livestock, imbues the scene with a sense of daily life and activity, despite the stillness suggested by the snow.

Durrie's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the textures of winter, from the softness of the snow to the roughness of tree bark, showcases his skill as a landscape painter. "Winter Scene 1857" not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also serves as a visual document of the period's rural American lifestyle. The painting is emblematic of Durrie's contribution to American art and his influence on the perception of the New England winter landscape in popular culture.
