Skating on the Serpentine
A crowd of skaters are shown enjoying themselves on the frozen Serpentine Lake, in Hyde Park. In the foreground, near a low table with an array of skates, three men are shown being fitted up for skating. To their left is a lifeguard wearing an overcoat marked ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.
This is a copy of a painting of the same name produced in 1823 by John Chalon.
