Boot op het strand 1841 - 1842

"Boot op het strand" (Boat on the Beach) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen, created between 1841 and 1842. This artwork depicts a scene on the beach with a beached boat and figures interacting with it. The composition, rendered in black and white, emphasizes the dramatic contrast between the boat's imposing presence and the figures' small scale. The scene is rendered with a sense of realism, highlighting Rochussen's talent for capturing the everyday lives of people in his time. This lithograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rochussen's mastery of the medium.
