MWW Artwork of the Day (1/6/20) Charles Leickert (Belgian, 1816–1907) Skaters on a Frozen Waterway (1892) Oil on canvas, 92 x 140 cm. Private Collection

Leickert's specialty was winter landscapes in the manner of the great Dutch genre painters of the seventeenth century.  This one (whose full title is "Numerous skaters near a koek-en-zopie on a frozen waterway by a mansion") is an outstanding example of his mature painterly style. On the frozen water villagers are engaged in daily activities. Some are skating whilst others are using the ice to transport goods. A house with a snow covered step gable stands on the right of the painting, forming a vertical compositional element which is echoed in the windmills and the mast of the small boat stuck in the ice. The sheet of ice is executed with remarkable precision: subtle reflections, a deep transparency and individual scratches left by skates and sledges characterize the present lot. A large sky made up of numerous pink, blue and grey tones holds clouds amongst which light is allowed to play. The dramatic lighting permits the snow to become almost luminescent, accentuating the coldness of this beautiful day in winter.
