Winter Landscape with a Bird-trap

Winter Landscape with a Bird-trap, a painting by Pieter Breughel the Younger, dated 1586. 



This artwork, housed in the National Museum in Wrocław, depicts a winter scene. The painting measures 0.58 meters in width and 0.37 meters in height. 



The scene shows a village covered in snow, with a frozen river or canal where people are ice skating and playing games. Houses with snow-covered roofs are clustered together, and leafless trees stand prominently throughout the landscape. A church is visible in the background. The overall color palette is muted, reflecting the cold winter atmosphere. A bird trap is subtly included in the composition, as indicated by the title.
