Two Children on the Ice: A Winter Delight in 19th Century Holland This enchanting photograph, titled 'Two children on the ice, a boy on skates, pushing a girl in a sledge,' transport us back in time to a charming winter scene in 19th century Holland. The image, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the pure joy and innocent fun of childhood during this season. The boy, dressed in a thick knitted jumper and woolen hat, skillfully glides across the frozen lake on a pair of wooden skates. His focus is on the girl in the sledge, her rosy cheeks and laughter evident as she clings to the side, her eyes sparkling with delight. The girl, bundled up in furs and a warm hat, gazes up at her companion with a smile, her hands holding onto the sledge's ropes for balance. In the background, a traditional Dutch windmill stands tall against the winter sky, its sails turning gently in the breeze. The scene is further adorned with ivy-covered buildings and trees, their branches bare but for a few stubborn leaves that cling on to winter's chill. A flock of birds takes flight overhead, adding to the serene and picturesque atmosphere. This photograph, titled 'Two children on the ice,' is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the magic of a winter's day in Holland. It invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us, no matter the season.
