Vier figuren op het ijs c. 1630

Bartholomeus van Lochom's "Vier figuren op het ijs," c. 1630, is a small etching of a winter scene with four figures on the ice. The composition is framed by a decorative border with a boat in the background, suggesting the setting of a frozen canal. The work captures the moment of winter recreation with a sense of both stillness and movement. This small-scale etching is a valuable example of the Dutch Golden Age fascination with everyday life and scenes of nature, particularly during the winter months.
