Skating on Jamaica Pond, near Boston is a 1859 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Ice Skating, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a snowy New England scene with people skating on a frozen pond. The ice looks thick and safe. Snow piles up on the shore. Trees stand tall in the background. Homer painted this when he was just 23. He worked mostly in watercolor here. The colors are soft but bright. This feels like a snapshot of winter fun in 1850s Boston. Look up Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910).
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
