EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-19th century print by Abraham Delfos depicts a lively scene of ice entertainment in the Low Countries. The frozen riverbank serves as an ideal backdrop for an amusement center teeming with people enjoying various winter pastimes. In the foreground, a group of children playfully skate on ice skates, their joyful expressions mirrored in the icy surface. Men, both young and old, engage in friendly competitions, their determined gazes focused on the ice. Some use sledges to glide effortlessly over the ice, while others transport goods on makeshift sleds, showcasing the practical uses of the frozen waterway. The artist masterfully captures the essence of winter leisure in this watercolor drawing. Delfos' deft use of brush and chalk creates a vivid and colorful image, with the icy river and surrounding landscape adding an element of natural beauty. The print is reminiscent of the works of Isaack van Ostade, a renowned Dutch painter known for his depictions of rural scenes and winter sports. This print offers a glimpse into the heritage art of the Netherlands during the 1750s through 1820s, a time when ice skating and other winter activities were cherished pastimes. The Rijksmuseum, a renowned museum in Amsterdam, is home to an extensive collection of Dutch art from this period, including works by Delfos and Van Ostade. This print is an excellent addition to any collection focusing on 18th and 19th century art, European heritage, or the concept of leisure and enjoyment in history.
