Schelpenvisser 1863 - 1890

"Schelpenvisser" (Shellfish Gatherer) is a drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created between 1863 and 1890. The drawing depicts a fisherman wading in the shallows, using a net to collect shellfish. The image is characterized by van Gogh's use of strong lines and bold colors, which he would later use to great effect in his paintings. The drawing is a poignant portrayal of the hardships of working-class life, a subject that van Gogh frequently explored in his early work. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
