Figuren bij een strandstoel 1884 - 1927

"Figuren bij een strandstoel" is a pencil sketch by Johan Antonie de Jonge, created sometime between 1884 and 1927. The work depicts figures by a beach chair, captured in a gestural and expressive style that suggests a quick, on-the-spot study. De Jonge, known for his dynamic and often unfinished drawings, uses quick, loose strokes and a strong sense of shadow to convey the scene. This piece exemplifies the artist's approach to capturing fleeting moments and human interaction in a spontaneous and direct manner. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger work, highlighting the artist's process and approach to composition.
