In this work by Lautrec simply titled "Skating" he gives
us a look at the social, as well as the skating itself. From the gallery,
a very distinguished monocled, gentleman in top hat, prepares his
drink, as he surveys the scene. A blonde skater, with a striking profile
and hat to match, holds the rail quite near to him. She seems to be
looking past him. In the background we see a waiter move by with a
full tray of drinks, as well a decked out lady skater clings to the
rail while a man skates effortlessly by them all. A full array of
elegant ladies and gentleman round out the gallery. Lautrec has effectively
captured the movement, the atmosphere and romance of indoor ice-skating,
a very popular pastime in Paris at the turn of the century |
