Forbidden to Go Sleigh Riding is a 19th-century genre painting by the German-American artist William Hahn. Created in 1884, the painting depicts a winter scene in which a young girl appears to be longingly watching other children enjoying a sleigh ride, suggesting that she has been denied participation in the activity. The work is characteristic of Hahn's detailed and narrative style, capturing the social customs and everyday life of the period.

The painting is notable for its fine attention to detail, the vivid portrayal of winter clothing of the era, and the expressive faces of the figures, which convey a range of emotions. Hahn's use of color and light accentuates the coldness of the winter scene, while also highlighting the warmth of the social interaction taking place. The artwork serves as a visual commentary on the social dynamics and restrictions of the time, particularly those faced by children.

William Hahn, born in Germany in 1829, emigrated to the United States where he became known for his genre scenes and portraits. His work often reflected the culture and lifestyle of his adopted country, making his paintings valuable for their historical as well as artistic merit. Forbidden to Go Sleigh Riding is considered an important work within Hahn's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in storytelling through visual art.

The painting is held in private collections or displayed in museums specializing in 19th-century American art. It continues to be studied for its artistic qualities and as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the social history of the United States during that period.
