To our knowledge, Mrs and Mr Thijssen are the only individuals in the Netherlands to have had themselves portrayed standing on the ice. This was probably because wealthier citizens considered skating a bit vulgar at the time. Consequently, neither Mr nor Mrs Thijssen are wearing skates. Regrettably, we do not know why they chose such a wintry setting or why Mr Thijssen appears to be gesturing towards other people on the ice.
