Winter c. 1758

"Winter" (c. 1758) is an etching by an anonymous artist depicting a scene of winter leisure. The artwork shows three figures, a man and woman, and a young boy in a snowy landscape. The man is dressed in winter clothing and is standing with his hands on his hips. The woman is standing next to him, and her skirt is pulled up to reveal her bare legs. The boy is seated on the ground, looking up at the woman. The artwork is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. This etching likely reflects popular 18th-century themes of leisure and outdoor recreation, and its rich detail and expressive figures make it a fascinating example of the period's art.
