Picture of the Dutch artist Hendrik Averkamp “Winter on the Canal.” The size of the picture is 32 x 68 cm, wood, oil. The frozen winter canals of the city become the place of favorite winter entertainments for the townspeople of Kampen.
People here skate, carry children on their sleds, drive a ball with a stick, carry loads. On the ice of the Campanian canal you can see children and adults, smartly dressed noble burghers, ordinary townspeople in modest clothes.
