This is a drawing of caricatured figures ice skating. A man is depicted sitting on the ground with a defeated expression, beside a fallen top hat. Two other figures skate with exaggerated postures, wearing coats and tall hats. In the background, a crowd of onlookers appear to be enjoying the spectacle. The tone of the drawing is humorous, emphasizing the clumsiness of the figures.
