"Winter: Figures Skating On A Frozen River By A Castle, A Town Beyond; And Spring: Figures Playing 'Drawing The Eel' On A River With Other Figures Smoking And Drinking Outside An Inn" is a pair of paintings by the Dutch Golden Age artist Thomas Heeremans. These works, created in the 17th century, epitomize the genre scenes for which Heeremans is known, depicting the leisure activities and daily life of the Dutch people during the changing seasons.

The first painting, "Winter: Figures Skating On A Frozen River By A Castle, A Town Beyond," captures the essence of Dutch winter life during the period. It features a lively scene of figures engaging in ice skating, a popular pastime in the Netherlands, set against the backdrop of a castle and a distant town. The work is notable for its detailed representation of the figures' costumes and movements, as well as the use of light and shadow to convey the chill of the winter atmosphere.

The companion piece, "Spring: Figures Playing 'Drawing The Eel' On A River With Other Figures Smoking And Drinking Outside An Inn," illustrates a springtime scene where people partake in the traditional game of 'drawing the eel,' a tug-of-war-like contest played on the water. In addition to the game, the painting also shows figures leisurely smoking and drinking outside an inn, suggesting the communal and celebratory nature of the season. Heeremans' skill in rendering the reflections on the water and the lush greenery of the landscape showcases his ability to capture the vibrancy of spring.

Thomas Heeremans (1641–1694) was a Haarlem-based artist who specialized in landscapes and cityscapes, often enriched with genre scenes. His works are characterized by their attention to detail and the lively depiction of his subjects. These paintings not only serve as artistic representations of seasonal activities but also provide historical insight into the customs and social life of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century.

The paintings are significant examples of Dutch landscape and genre painting, reflecting the cultural and artistic interests of the time. They are appreciated for their historical value, artistic merit, and the window they offer into the pastimes and traditions of the era. As with many works of the Dutch Golden Age, these paintings by Heeremans continue to be studied and admired for their contribution to the understanding of the period's society and culture.
