Andreas Schelfhout’s “Schaatsers op een bevroren vaart aan de voet van een molen” (c. 1825-1829) is a pencil drawing depicting a Dutch winter scene, a common subject matter for the artist. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows a frozen canal with figures skating in the foreground. A windmill stands in the background, partially obscured by trees. This drawing exemplifies Schelfhout’s mastery of capturing the delicate beauty of the Dutch landscape. It is a testament to his keen observation of nature and his ability to translate his observations into a detailed and evocative drawing.
