Winter Landscape with Skaters is a 1585 ink by Hans Bol, a Renaissance work, depicting ice skating, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a quiet winter scene with people skating on a frozen lake. The artist used simple lines and gentle shading to create a sense of calm. This style was common during the time period, and it's interesting to note that the artist likely used this technique to evoke a feeling of serenity. Check out the work of artist: Bol, Hans.
