The Skating Minister - by Henry Raeburn (~1790)
The Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, better known by its shorter title The Skating Minister, is a late 18th-century oil painting attributed to Henry Raeburn, now in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. Because the painting was passed down through the subject's family, it was practically unknown until 1949, but has since become one of Scotland's best-known paintings. It is considered an icon of Scottish culture, painted during the Scottish Enlightenment.
There's a slightly naughtier 'cover version' of this by Sylvie Jones.
I think I like this version even more
I love how despite the lack of effort put into the background, that they painted the lil lines on the ice.
Weeee. - The Skating Minister
