Central Park, Winter: The Skating Pond

Nathaniel Currier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Colorful illustration of people ice skating on a frozen pond. The scene shows a large crowd of people dressed in 19th-century clothing. Mostly men wear top hats, long coats, and pants. Women wear long dresses and skirts. Some people hold hands while skating. Others are falling or helping someone up. A small dog is on the ice. In the background, there is a bridge, buildings, bare trees, and a cloudy sky. The image has a light-colored border around it. Text at the bottom reads "CENTRAL PARK, WINTER" and "THE SKATING POND".
