Huizen te Scheveningen en vrouwen in Scheveningse dracht c. 1873

This pencil sketch, "Huizen te Scheveningen en vrouwen in Scheveningse dracht," by Johannes Bosboom, captures a scene from the Dutch coastal town of Scheveningen. The drawing features a row of houses along a beach with several figures, likely women in traditional Scheveningen dress, scattered across the landscape. Bosboom was known for his detailed drawings and his skillful rendering of light and shadow. This work, despite its simplicity, is a testament to his keen eye for observation and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Bosboom's creative process and his fascination with the everyday life of the Netherlands.
