"A Winter Landscape with Figures Skating on the Ice" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Goyen, a prominent landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age. Created in 1643, this work is an exemplar of van Goyen's mastery in capturing the serene and atmospheric qualities of the Dutch countryside during the winter months. The painting depicts a frozen river scene bustling with figures engaged in ice skating, a popular pastime in the Netherlands during the 17th century.

Measuring 38.5 by 55 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on panel. It showcases van Goyen's characteristic use of a restrained color palette, primarily composed of earthy tones, which enhances the sense of coldness and the subdued light of a winter's day. The composition is carefully balanced, with the placement of figures and objects leading the viewer's eye into the depth of the landscape, while the expansive sky above dominates the scene, a typical feature in van Goyen's landscapes.

The painting is significant for its historical depiction of social activities and fashion of the time, as well as for its artistic qualities that reflect the transition from the earlier, more detailed Mannerist style to a looser, tonal approach that emphasizes mood and atmosphere. "A Winter Landscape with Figures Skating on the Ice" is not only a reflection of van Goyen's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural context of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the Dutch landscape genre and the oeuvre of Jan van Goyen. The work is often cited in discussions of Dutch winter landscapes, a genre that was popularized by artists like Hendrick Avercamp and continued by van Goyen and his contemporaries.
