"Winter" - A Skating Scene is a 1868 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Ice Skating, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a snowy day in the countryside. A few people skate on a frozen pond. Trees and a farmhouse sit under a gray sky. Homer painted this in 1868, right after winter storms. The scene feels quiet and real. Notice how the snow looks lumpy and uneven. That’s called impasto—a thick paint layer that makes textures pop. If you like this, check out Winslow Homer.
