This winter scene of a skater, a favorite motif of Dutch painters from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, is served by a beautiful pictorial quality and a very pretty light. 
Under a vast sky swept by clouds, the painter was able to render the movement of the skaters captured in full action. The sun enhances the effects of reflections on the frozen river.
A pupil of Schelfhout, N.J. Roosenboom worked in the Hague.
Attached to the Dutch romantic school, he participates in the revival of Dutch painting.
He specialized and gained a reputation for his winter landscapes and his scenes of skaters.
