"Habitants Sleighing 2" is a notable painting by Cornelius Krieghoff, a prominent 19th-century Canadian artist renowned for his depictions of Canadian landscapes and scenes of everyday life. Created in 1856, this artwork exemplifies Krieghoff's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of rural Canadian life during that period. The painting portrays a lively winter scene featuring habitants, or French-Canadian settlers, engaging in the popular pastime of sleighing.

Krieghoff's work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the Canadian wilderness and the cultural practices of its inhabitants. In "Habitants Sleighing 2," he masterfully illustrates the interaction between humans and their environment, emphasizing the harsh yet beautiful winter landscape of Quebec. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, with the sleighs and their occupants depicted in motion, creating a sense of movement and excitement. The use of light and shadow enhances the wintry atmosphere, while the detailed rendering of the figures and their attire provides insight into the period's clothing and lifestyle.

The painting is also significant for its ethnographic value, offering a glimpse into the social customs and recreational activities of French-Canadian communities in the mid-19th century. Krieghoff's ability to blend genre painting with landscape art has made his works, including "Habitants Sleighing 2," valuable both artistically and historically. Today, this painting is part of the collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and cultural significance.
