Man with a Sledge is a 1910 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Ice Skating, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a man in a blue coat and hat, holding a sledge. He is standing on a frozen body of water, possibly a lake or river, with a few people ice skating in the background. The man is the main focus of the painting, with the sledge and his clothing rendered in bold brushstrokes. The background is more subdued, with the ice skaters and the frozen water depicted in softer colors. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the man lost in thought as he gazes out at the frozen landscape.
