Van Dearing Perrine

The Ice Floes
c. 1910

A nocturnal landscape painting depicting a serene, snow-covered terrain with geometric patches of unfrozen water amidst the ice. The sky is dark with hints of red, suggesting either sunset or sunrise, and distant lights from a settlement or city are visible on the horizon. The foreground features a snowdrift with subtle contours and a small, leafless shrub or plant. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative.
