"The Ice Harvest" is a painting by the American artist Lowell Birge Harrison, created in 1884. This work of art is a notable example of the Tonalist movement, which was characterized by its emphasis on atmosphere and mood over subject detail. Harrison, who was a prominent figure in this movement, often depicted evocative landscapes that conveyed a sense of tranquility and poetic stillness.

In "The Ice Harvest," Harrison captures a winter scene where laborers are shown gathering ice, a common practice in the pre-refrigeration era when ice was harvested from frozen bodies of water to be used for cooling in the warmer months. The painting is remarkable for its subdued color palette, which consists of cool blues and grays, creating a harmonious and serene composition that reflects the chill of winter and the quiet labor of the workers.

The artwork is a reflection of the artist's skill in using light and shadow to create depth and a sense of the time of day, likely the muted light of dawn or dusk. The figures and the landscape are rendered with soft edges, which is typical of the Tonalist style, and this technique helps to unify the scene and enhance its contemplative quality.

"The Ice Harvest" is not only an example of Harrison's mastery of Tonalist principles but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the rural American economy and way of life during the late 19th century. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is considered an important piece within Lowell Birge Harrison's oeuvre. It is often studied for its aesthetic qualities as well as its cultural and historical significance.
