"A Winter Landscape with Skaters near a Koek-en-Zopie Stand" is a 19th-century painting by Dutch artist Pieter van Borselen (1806–1879). The work is a quintessential example of the Romantic period's fascination with picturesque winter scenes, depicting the joy and communal spirit of the Dutch Golden Age that artists of the time sought to recapture. In this painting, Van Borselen illustrates a lively winter tableau where figures are seen enjoying the day on a frozen waterway. The central feature of the composition is the koek-en-zopie stand, a traditional Dutch refreshment stall that served skaters with food and drink, such as koek (cake) and zopie (a type of alcoholic beverage), during the winter months when canals and lakes were frozen.

The painting is characterized by its fine attention to detail and the use of light and shadow, which contribute to the overall atmosphere of the scene. Skaters of various social standings and ages are depicted, showcasing the universal appeal of ice skating in the Netherlands. The artist's ability to capture the reflections on the ice and the textures of the winter clothing adds to the realism of the scene.

Pieter van Borselen, although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, was known for his landscapes and genre scenes. His works often reflect a nostalgic view of Dutch rural life and are valued for their historical depiction of 19th-century customs and leisure activities. "A Winter Landscape with Skaters near a Koek-en-Zopie Stand" remains a significant piece within Van Borselen's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and social history of the Netherlands as well as the artistic trends of the Romantic period.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art galleries that specialize in Dutch paintings from the 19th century. It continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of Dutch Romantic art, contributing to the understanding of the era's aesthetic values and social practices.
