EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Snowball Throwers" we are transported back in time to the Northern Netherlands during the late 18th century. The scene captures the joy and mischief of winter as two young boys prepare to launch snowballs at their unsuspecting friend in the foreground. Their mischievous grins hint at the excitement that fills the crisp air. Behind them, a frozen river stretches out, its icy surface providing a playground for various winter activities. A horse-drawn sled glides effortlessly across the frozen expanse, leaving behind tracks in its wake. The presence of other winter sports equipment such as skates and a sleigh suggests that this location was a hub for outdoor recreation during those cold months. The artist responsible for immortalizing this moment is Anthonij van der Haer, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. Through his skilled etching technique on paper, he has captured not only the physical details but also an intangible sense of youthful camaraderie and wintertime fun. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to glimpse into a bygone era where simple pleasures like throwing snowballs brought immense delight. It serves as a reminder that despite changing times and advancements in technology, some things remain timeless - like laughter shared among friends on a snowy day.
