Skating in Central Park

The generous contribution of Jim Alterman made possible the conservation of this work in 2002.

Skating in Central Park is a lighthearted, nostalgic genre scene that astutely captures a sense of time and place. Martha Walter uses the barren trees as a device to frame the lively colors and energetic skaters below.
