The artwork, titled “Skiers (Snow emergency)”, is a genre painting by the artist Haddon Sundblom. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting belongs to the Kitsch art movement and measures 91.44 x 86.36 cm.
In the artwork, two skiers occupy the focal point amidst a wintry landscape. The scene captures a moment of urgency and aid, with one skier assisting another who has fallen into the snow. The fallen skier, enveloped in a green jacket and exuding a sense of distress and vulnerability, reaches upward towards the helping hand. The other skier, standing firmly and dressed in brown pants, leans forward to provide assistance. The canvas is adorned with the rich, bold colors characteristic of Sundblom’s work, with the depiction of the snow and surrounding environment adding to the thematic urgency and emotion of the scene.
