The print, part of a private collection, showcases the vibrant leisure activities that took place during winter in this Asian metropolis. In the foreground, a traditional horse-drawn Peking cab catches our attention as it navigates through the snowy streets. Its presence adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of a bygone era when such transportation was commonplace. Meanwhile, on either side of the street, people engage in various pastimes on ice-covered ponds. Ice skating enthusiasts gracefully glide across frozen surfaces while others gather for amusements and socializing. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure depicted exudes authenticity and character. These lively street scenes provide glimpses into daily life in Beijing at that time – a fusion of tradition and modernity.
