"Winter Sports in the Gutter" is a painting by the British-born American artist John George Brown (1831–1913), known for his realistic depictions of street urchins and children in urban settings. Created in 1872, this work exemplifies Brown's genre scenes, which often reflected both the charm and the hardships of urban life in the post-Civil War period.

The painting portrays a group of young boys engaging in improvised winter games in a city street, likely in New York, where Brown lived and worked for much of his life. The boys, dressed in tattered clothing that speaks to their lower economic status, are seen sliding and playing in the snow-filled gutter, a stark contrast to the more genteel winter activities associated with the upper classes.

Brown's attention to detail and his ability to capture the expressions and movements of the children are noteworthy in this painting. He often imbued his subjects with a sense of individuality and spirit, which garnered him popularity during his lifetime. "Winter Sports in the Gutter" is characteristic of Brown's empathetic portrayal of street children, a subject that resonated with Victorian audiences and reflected broader social concerns of the era.

The painting is a significant example of Brown's work and of the genre painting tradition in American art. It is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited and studied as part of the narrative of American social realism in the 19th century. Through works like "Winter Sports in the Gutter," Brown contributed to the visual culture of his time, offering insights into the lives of everyday people and the social dynamics of the rapidly changing urban environment.
