Winterlandschap met schaatsers 1752 - 1839

"Winterlandschap met schaatsers" is a small etching created between 1752 and 1839 by Dutch artist Gerrit van der Pals, known for his landscapes and genre scenes. The etching depicts a winter scene with figures ice skating on a frozen canal, a windmill in the background, and a bridge. The use of fine lines and detailed hatching creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of van der Pals's style. The intimate size of the work suggests it was likely intended for a private collection, a common practice during this period.
