"Winter's Tale" is a notable artwork by the influential Dutch-born New Zealand artist Petrus van der Velden (1837–1913). Completed in 1893, this oil-on-canvas artwork is characteristic of van der Velden's repertoire, well-known for observing and capturing insightful scenes of life.

The painting showcases a lively perspective of a winter scene with the starkness of the season conveyed through the artist's expertise in using darker hues and effectively rendering the textures of snow. The focus on the individuals in the painting reveals the artist's interest in the human condition, a recurring theme in his works.

Known for his landscapes and genre scenes, van der Velden immigrated to New Zealand in 1890. In "Winter's Tale", he encapsulates the essence of the wintry European environments he left behind, providing cultural context and a touch of realism to the New Zealand art scene. The artwork is currently part of a public collection in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, accentuating the artist's significance in New Zealand's art history.

"Winter's Tale" bears testimony to Petrus van der Velden's hallmark style and mastery in relay of human sentiments through typical landscapes and settings.
