M.C. Durkee
1895–1899

A vintage pencil sketch on aged paper depicting a figure skater in mid-pose, with a focused expression and wearing a striped sweater and dark pants. The skater is captured in a dynamic stance with one leg extended back and arms out for balance. In the background, two smaller figures can be seen skating, suggesting a communal ice rink setting. The artist's signature, "M.G. Durkee," is visible at the bottom of the sketch.
