A skater lies on his back on the ice, his hat has fallen off, his muff and cane lie beside him. From his pocket projects a paper, "the art of rolling made easy". Behind him a lady skates with ease and assurance, her arms folded. Behind her another man lies on the ground. Behind (right) a skater looks at the prostrate man through an eye-glass. In the middle distance two skaters, a man and a woman, face each other. In the background are bare shrubs and trees and a country house. 12 april 1780
