- A proposito di opere d'arte'Koek-en-zopie' on the ice. Pen drawing with washes of East Indian ink and grey ink, executed around 1775 by Dirk Langendijk. Signed lower left “D. Langendijk”. Size (paper): 38.7 × 51.4 cm. Dirk Langendijk (1748–1805) was primarily drawn to military and historical subjects, though in his early years he also produced landscapes. To his teacher Dirk Anthonie Bisschop he owed “that pure and clear manner of washing with East Indian ink, which lends such great ornament to his drawings.” We see a lively winter scene on the ice. This is not an idyllic, tranquil winter landscape, but a crowded and socially layered ice scene centred on a koek-en-zopie tent. A flag flutters above the improvised stall, and a wreath is hung as well—the sign that brandy is being served. Across the composition a wide range of activities unfolds. Skaters glide past in various poses: some graceful, others less accomplished. In the foreground a man lies stretched out on the ice, his hat beside him—perhaps he has had a drink. Slightly farther on stands a horse-drawn sleigh; other figures look on, smoke their pipes, or converse with one another. A light haze softens the atmosphere, causing the background to dissolve gradually and directing attention to the everyday conviviality around the tent in the foreground. Langendijk’s drawings are generally worked out in great detail: each small figure, whether animal or human, can be considered independently. The different emotions of the people can sometimes be read in their faces. The clothing, too, with its particular details, is in general rendered with great care and precision.

- A proposito di opere artista
Dirk Langendijk (Rotterdam, 8 marzo 1748 – 15 dicembre 1805), spesso scritto ai suoi tempi come Langendyk, è stato un disegnatore, pittore e incisore olandese. Raggiunse particolare fama per le sue vivide raffigurazioni di battaglie, scontri navali e altre scene militari dell'era dei Patrioti (circa 1780-1800) e delle guerre rivoluzionarie francesi e napoleoniche (dal 1792).
Langendijk nacque nel porto di Bierhaven a Rotterdam. Suo padre, Hendrik Langendijk di Wijhe, lavorava per la Camera di Commercio Estera di Rotterdam come garbuleur: una persona che puliva, selezionava e classificava le spezie. Sua madre era Hendrina van der Kamp di Arnhem. Langendijk ricevette la sua prima formazione da Dirck Anthonie Bisschop (1708-1758), un pittore che decorava interni, stemmi e carrozze, tra le altre cose. Langendijk spostò presto la sua attenzione sui soggetti militari, come è evidente nei suoi primi schizzi di cavalli e soldati (1769-1777).
La sua vita personale ebbe un lato oscuro: era infelicemente sposato e cercava conforto nella droga. Langendijk morì nel 1805, relativamente giovane. Suo figlio, Jan Anthonie Langendijk (1780-1818), seguì le sue orme come disegnatore.
