Hendrick Avercamp. Enjoying the Ice near a Town (‘IJsvermaak bij een stad’), ca. 1620 (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam).



Oil on canvas on wood: 47 x 89 cm. The artist (still in the Little Ice Age) focusses on the brighter recreational side of harsh and unforgiving times. He did however make sure to include the gallows on the right.
