A Pair of Verre Eglomisé Pictures by Jonas Zeuner (1722-1814), worked in silver and gold with winter landscapes depicting two figures with a dog sled, and figures skating and in sleds on a frozen river before a town, signed and dated 1786, 20cm by 26cm See illustration

Having been born in Kassel in 1727, Zeurner arrived in Amsterdam around 1750 where he perfected the technique of verre eglomise with engraved gold and silver leaf. Winter scenes seem to be relatively unusual. A similar example in the Nederlands Instituut voor Kunstgeschiedenis depicts a frozen river with sleds similar to those in one of the present examples. Examples with Arctic scenes appear to be much more scarce.
