Vissers in de duinen 1797 - 1838

"Vissers in de duinen" (Fishermen in the Dunes) is a drawing by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of daily life. Created between 1797 and 1838, the artwork captures a scene of fishermen on a beach, likely in the Netherlands. The realistic depiction of the figures and boats, combined with the atmospheric sky, showcases Schotel's talent for depicting everyday scenes with a focus on realism and natural light. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the lives of fishermen in the 19th century, demonstrating the artist's interest in portraying ordinary people and their activities.
