"4 Polar Bears Ice Skating" is an artwork by Frederick Stuart Church (1842–1924), an American artist known for his whimsical and fantastical illustrations. Church, who was a student of the National Academy of Design, gained popularity for his depictions of animals in anthropomorphic settings, often imbued with a sense of humor and fantasy. This particular piece, created in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a fine example of Church's playful approach to animal subjects, showcasing four polar bears engaging in the very human activity of ice skating.

The artwork is characteristic of Church's style, which often included Arctic creatures like polar bears, a subject that fascinated the public during the period of the artist's greatest productivity. Church's work was widely disseminated through publications of the time, such as Harper's Weekly, and his illustrations contributed to the period's visual culture, reflecting a fascination with nature and the animal kingdom through a lens of fantasy and anthropomorphism.

"4 Polar Bears Ice Skating" is rendered with attention to detail and a softness that captures the icy environment and the bears' thick fur. The playful nature of the scene is typical of Church's oeuvre, which frequently included animals in leisurely or human-like scenarios, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a whimsical level. The piece is a testament to Church's ability to blend realism with imagination, creating works that were both artistically significant and broadly appealing to the art audiences of his time.

As with many of Church's works, "4 Polar Bears Ice Skating" may be seen as a reflection of the era's interest in exploration and the natural world, as well as the burgeoning field of illustration, which allowed artists to reach a wide audience through mass-produced images. The artwork remains an endearing example of Church's legacy in American art, particularly within the genre of animal illustration and the movement of American Romanticism.
