Antique Winter Skating Scene Oil Painting, Cottage and Windmill, Monogrammed, Oak Frame, 24" x 17"

A frozen river in the Dutch manner. Skaters lean into the wind across the ice, a woman in a red headscarf stands at the bank by a hole cut in the ice, and a man stops at the arched red door of a snowy cottage under two big bare trees. Far off, a windmill and a church spire. The palette is soft browns, greys and cream under a pale blue-grey sky. Monogrammed lower left.

It sits under glass in a ribbed oak frame, with a kraft paper back, a hanging wire and an old pencilled price note.

Antique Winter Skating Scene, oil on canvas, monogrammed. 24" x 17" framed. Grime and some fine craquelure across the surface, a small paint loss on the cottage roof, and a few small losses near the lower edge. The frame has light wear, and the paper backing is torn and dented in a few places.

For a mantel in December, a front hall, or anyone who grew up skating on a pond.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
