As men and women dressed in their finest attire slide down the slope, accompanied by their trusty dogs, laughter fills the air. The artist's caricatures add an element of humor to this delightful winter activity. Hampstead Heath, known for its picturesque landscapes, provided the perfect backdrop for this exhilarating pastime.
