Design and Description

January 27 - April 9, 2006

Like many Dutch artists of the 17th century, Esaias van de Velde specialized in naturalistic landscapes without mythological or religious associations, such as this delicate chalk drawing. Taking a low viewpoint, Van de Velde relayed the bitter cold of the European winter and a favorite seasonal pastime, ice skating.
