Bomschuit op het strand 1848 - 1888

"Bomschuit op het strand" is a graphite drawing by Anton Mauve, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and depictions of rural life. This sketch, created between 1848 and 1888, captures a simple yet powerful scene: a beached fishing boat. The artist's loose, gestural lines create a sense of immediacy and informality, hinting at a quick observation of the subject. The drawing's subtle shading and composition add depth and dimension, making it a compelling glimpse into Mauve's artistic practice. This sketch currently resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
