"Het IJs" is a colorful illustration created between 1894 and 1959 by Jules Maurel. The artwork depicts children and a dog enjoying various winter activities on the ice. The image is divided into six panels, each showcasing different activities. This charming artwork is a classic example of a genre known as "Het IJs", a type of Dutch artwork focusing on winter activities. The artwork is both entertaining and instructive, offering advice for safe ice skating, which is highlighted in the Dutch captions below each scene. The image is a great example of the artistic style popular in the late 19th century in the Netherlands.
