About this work

This painting shows three people on a frozen river. The adults sit in a small boat with fishing gear, while a child stands nearby holding a bundle of sticks. Behind them, a snowy landscape stretches out with a castle-like building in the distance and dark clouds looming overhead. The adults are dressed warmly in heavy coats and hats, suggesting cold weather. The ice on the river looks thick enough to walk on, and the scene feels quiet and still. If you like this kind of everyday winter scene, look up Ekman, Robert Wilhelm to see more of his work.
