A frozen canal becomes a crowded outdoor stage in Avercamp’s panoramic winter scene, where townspeople skate, play golf on the ice, and gather around sleds and market stalls. Avercamp, known as ‘the mute man of Kampen’, filled his icy vistas with dozens of tiny, vividly observed figures, turning the cold landscape into a lively social tableau.
