Willem Bastiaan Tholen was a Dutch painter known for his contributions to the Hague School, a group of artists who were active in the late 19th century. Tholen's work often depicted serene landscapes and everyday scenes, capturing the essence of Dutch life with a keen eye for detail and atmosphere.

"Skating" is one of Tholen's notable paintings, showcasing his ability to portray winter scenes with a sense of tranquility and charm. The painting captures a group of people ice skating on a frozen waterway, a common pastime in the Netherlands during the winter months. Tholen's use of light and shadow creates a vivid depiction of the cold, crisp air and the reflective surface of the ice.

The composition of "Skating" is carefully balanced, with figures distributed across the canvas in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene. Tholen's attention to detail is evident in the way he renders the skaters' clothing and movements, giving each figure a sense of individuality and life. The background features typical Dutch architecture and trees, adding depth and context to the scene.

Tholen's technique in "Skating" reflects his training and influences, combining elements of realism with an impressionistic touch. His brushwork is both precise and fluid, capturing the dynamic nature of the skaters while maintaining a harmonious overall composition. The painting is a testament to Tholen's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday moments and his ability to evoke a sense of place and time.

"Skating" remains an important work within Tholen's oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery of landscape and genre painting. It continues to be appreciated for its artistic quality and its depiction of a quintessentially Dutch winter activity.
