signature and date, lower left, on a log: ‘I. V Goien 1625.’

This winter scene accompanies a summer landscape on view elsewhere in this gallery. When Van Goyen painted the two little pictures in 1625, he rested on a long tradition. As early as the Middle Ages, artists portrayed the seasons by means of landscapes with people engaged in typical seasonal activities.
