IJsvermaak op een ondergelopen stuk land te Den Haag 1757

"IJsvermaak op een ondergelopen stuk land te Den Haag" is an etching by Dutch artist Iven Besoet, dating back to 1757. The image depicts a lively winter scene in The Hague, where the land has been flooded, creating a frozen expanse for ice skating. The scene is packed with people enjoying the sport, including figures on skates, sleds, and horseback. The print's detailed perspective and depiction of daily life make it a fascinating glimpse into Dutch winter recreation in the 18th century. This artwork is a prime example of Dutch landscape engraving and a valuable record of social activity during the Dutch Golden Age.
