Flemish school in the style of Isack van Ostade. Central European painter from the late 17th century. Based on the visual, stylistic, and formal examination of the patina, the pigments used, and the constructive technique of the canvas, this oil on canvas work can reasonably be dated to the late 17th century or the first half of the 18th century. The frame, added later and with a pleasant original patina, is perhaps contemporary or was at least made within the first half of the 19th century and is gilded with mecca. Minor and circumscribed conservation-type restorations have been carried out on the canvas in the past. The winter landscapes imagined by Isack van Ostade, to which the capable painter of this painting was inspired, have specific and autonomous characteristics, with the presence of rustic buildings, taverns, or agricultural buildings; a warm diagonal light, with rather monochromatic tones inherited from the style of Jakob Van Ruisdael, and frozen water with a forest in the background that develops on the left side. The dimensions are cm. 64 x 51, cm. 51 x 40 for the canvas alone.
