The panel, datable to the early seventeenth century, depicts a Flemish village in winter wrapped in a foggy and yellowish atmosphere. The view is lost far away to a distant village, barely visible, shrouded in mist. There is described a glimpse of daily life with the inhabitants portrayed in the center while they are having fun skating on the frozen river. On the right, in the middle of a clearing, a bird trap is set up, perhaps with moralizing intent.
