"Two Skaters / recto: Skaters on the Ice, a Man Pushing a Sledge and a Kolf-player" is a drawing by Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp, dating back to c. 1615-1625. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three figures on a frozen lake. One is a man pushing a sledge, another is skating, and the third is playing kolf, a Dutch winter sport similar to golf. Avercamp is known for his winter landscapes, often depicting scenes of Dutch daily life in the snow. The drawing's delicate lines and the inclusion of details like clothing and the sledge convey a sense of everyday life in the winter.
