Bijeenkomst van mannen, vrouwen en kinderen op het ijs 1836 - 1912

"Bijeenkomst van mannen, vrouwen en kinderen op het ijs" (Gathering of men, women and children on the ice) is a drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, created sometime between 1836 and 1912. The drawing depicts a group of people gathered on a frozen lake, likely in the Netherlands. Weissenbruch is known for his detailed and realistic depictions of everyday life, particularly scenes from Dutch landscapes. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies his style with its precise rendering of the figures, their clothing, and the surrounding environment, all in a delicate black and white medium. The scene evokes a sense of community and togetherness, capturing a moment of leisure and social interaction in a winter landscape.
