About this artwork
Akseli Gallen-Kallela painted this winter scene in 1896, working in oil on canvas. It shows people ice skating in a rural landscape, with snow covering the ground and the cold season setting the mood. The subject is a simple everyday pleasure, placed in open countryside rather than in a town. Gallen-Kallela was a Finnish painter, and this work belongs to his landscape painting of the 1890s.
On your wall: Its wintry subject and cool, snowy atmosphere suit a calm living room, a hallway or a study, especially where you want a touch of the outdoors.
