Schaatswedstrijd 1930

"Schaatswedstrijd" (1930) by Dutch artist Henk Henriët (1903-1945) is a black and white lithograph depicting a lively scene of a skating competition. The detailed image captures the energy of the event with figures of skaters, spectators, and even a dog in the foreground, as well as a frozen canal and a distant landscape. The artwork exemplifies Henriët's focus on capturing everyday life and the spirit of Dutch culture. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a compelling visual testament to the artist's keen observation and skilled craftsmanship.
