En tilfrossen sø med skøjteløbere, til venstre ses en by i mellemgrunden is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white scene shows a frozen lake in the foreground, where a few people are ice skating. Bare trees line the left side, and a small village with simple buildings sits in the middle distance. In the background, hills fade into a hazy sky. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to shape the scene, giving depth to the ice and buildings. This effect makes the skaters and village stand out against the flat white landscape. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other art.
