More about this artwork

"Jongens bij een man met schaatsijzers," created by Willem Pothast between 1887 and 1916, captures a charming and evocative scene set in a rustic interior space. This monochrome drawing, steeped in naturalistic details, features an elderly man showing a pair of skate blades to two young boys. Their expressions, ranging from curiosity to wonder, reflect their keen interest in the skate blades, perhaps anticipating the joy of skating.Pothast's work is wonderfully detailed, allowing viewers to appreciate textures from the wooden floor to the eclectic assortment of objects lining the shelves above. Each element in the drawing contributes to a narrative that is both simple and profound, depicting a moment of everyday life that connects generations. The inclusion of a small dog in the background adds to the domestic feel of the scene, suggesting a moment caught in the tranquility of daily existence.
