Heinrich Wilhelm (Hendrik Willem) Schweickhardt

WINTERLANDSCAPE WITH SKATERS

Oil on panel. 42 x 57,6 cm.
HW Schweickhardt 1781.

German catalogue text:
Heinrich Wilhelm Schweickhardt lived between 1775 and 1786 in The Hague, thus our painting dated 1781 was created during his Dutch sojourn. A similar landscape with skaters belongs to the Louvre. It shows the same trees at left and right, and a similar village architecture with a windmill. Typical for these works by the Brandenburg painter is the grace of his figures and the clear light of sunny winter days.
