EDITORS COMMENTS
Sleigh on the Ice" is a captivating watercolor painting by the renowned Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, created between 1656 and 1687. The scene depicts a serene winter landscape with a horse-drawn sleigh gliding smoothly on the frozen surface of a lake. The tranquility of the scene is further enhanced by the presence of two men and two women, bundled up against the cold, who accompany the couple in the sleigh. In the background, the cityscape of Zwolle can be seen, with its distinctive towers and rooftops, while the Agnietenberg (?) castle is visible on the left. The use of color and light in this artwork is truly remarkable, with the white snow and ice contrasting beautifully against the rich hues of the clothing and the warm tones of the buildings. The attention to detail in the rendering of the animals, the horses and the dogs, is a testament to the artist's skill and mastery of her medium. This painting is a precious example of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the United Provinces of the Netherlands. The horse-drawn sleigh was a common mode of transportation during the wintry months, and this image captures the essence of the season and the joy of the moment. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is fortunate to have this work in its esteemed collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and heritage of Gesina ter Borch.
