These charming winter scenes may have been part of a larger ensemble of winter subjects, however it is difficult to be certain.

Other monochrome and signed drawings by Aartman are in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle1. There was recently on the market a watercolour of skating scene Winter Landscape with elegant Figures skating and sledging near a Windmill, which is comparable in the treatment of the subject matter and the figures2.
