OriginalA Winter Scene with Skaters near a Castle (1608–09) by Hendrick Avercamp; Avercamp—a deaf mute known as "de Stomme van Kampen" (the mute of Kampen)—was the first of the Dutch painters to specialise in snow scenes having been influenced in his subject by the Little Ice Age, particularly the cold winter of 1607–08. The National Gallery acquired it as a square painting in 1891; on cleaning in 1983, it was established that the corners were later additions by another painter. These additions were removed to leave Avercamp's original.
