Dutch Golf Engraving By J. Boydell, Winter.
Rare 18th century Dutch golf engraving by J. Boydell depicting Dutchman playing the early form of golf on the ice, titled 'Winter'. The scene shows a group of three Dutch gentlemen in the foreground playing kolf, the forerunner of golf. There are people skating on the ice and windmills can be seen in the distance. Paintings of life on the frozen waterways of Holland were very popular and many artists, usually known for painting rivers or landscapes, produced them.
