Women’s Skating Competition on Stadsgracht, Leeuwarden, 21 January 1809

Nicolaas Baur (signed by artist), 1810

Thousands of people have flocked to see the final of a women’s skating competition. Houkje Gerrits Bouma crosses the finish line first. Elated, she throws up her arms in triumph. A boy has even climbed a tree to follow the event. During the winter season, everyone went out on the ice, and women commonly participated in speed skating as well.
