Skating on the river or on the ice is one of the famous themes of Dutch painting. It is a popular genre painting that often very faithfully depicts a wide range of characters, often in comic situations or at work. In the case of Adolf Born, however, it is a completely innovative concept with its own dose of humour. Each composition is an impressive spectacle, and the featured characters have different moods and personal characteristics. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
