Ice on a Broad River
Jan van Goyen, drawing, 1653 · drawing
What it is
A drawing by Jan van Goyen of crowded ice on a wide river, dated 1653.
Why it matters
Van Goyen made hundreds of these river views; in the winter ones the ice becomes a street.
What to notice
Among the horses and sledges in the middle ground, figures with clubs stand apart from the traffic.
The game takes whatever space the town leaves it.
