Winter: The Interior of a Barn

This is a barn of operatic proportions, in which we find cattle, horses, milkmaids working and vagrants warming themselves by the fire, with multiple views of the farmyard and village beyond. The man leaning on his stick was originally at the left edge; Rubens has added a substantial section of canvas here, perhaps to match the width of Summer.

Acquired as a pair with Summer, by Frederick, Prince of Wales, in 1747
