Kruiend ijs op de Rijn bij Arnhem, 1855 1855

"Kruiend ijs op de Rijn bij Arnhem," a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Petrus Kiers, is a satirical depiction of two men. Created in 1855, the artwork humorously portrays a man in a top hat and a man reading a newspaper, hinting at social commentary through their exaggerated features and actions. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Kiers's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and conveying a humorous narrative in a small format.
