Woven in wools and silks and depicting an extensive frozen moat of a castle with various courtly-dressed figures skating, falling onto the ice and others on the banks of the lake fastening skates, with children hovering over a brazier, in the distance a burning village with figures dashing with ladders, the heavens with billowing clouds and putti blowing winds and surrounding Boreas, within a border densely woven with floral garlands decorated with grapes, pomegranates, and with hounds chasing hares, the lower field possibly associated or previously folded under and subsequently slightly reduced in height, with restored vertical cut to right side, slightly reduced in width, areas of repairs
