Winter 1731 - 1788

"Winter" is an etching by Swedish artist Johann Esaias Nilson, completed between 1731 and 1788, before his death in that year. This artwork is part of a series of etchings, each depicting one of the four seasons, and features a romantic scene of a couple ice skating. The etching is surrounded by a delicate border of swirling branches, creating a sense of depth and movement. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
