Op het ijs 1892 - 1905

"Op het IJs" (On the Ice) is a detailed, black-and-white illustration by Ed. J. Walker depicting various scenes of Dutch children enjoying winter activities. The image is divided into six panels, each showing a different activity, such as skating, sledding, or simply playing in the snow. The artwork, created between 1892 and 1905, captures the joy and innocence of childhood in a winter wonderland, and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is typical of the illustrative style popular in the late 19th century, and its detailed depictions of everyday life make it a valuable document of Dutch culture during this period.
