Schelpenvissers bij Katwijk 1887 - 1889

"Schelpenvissers bij Katwijk" (Shellfish Fishermen at Katwijk) is an etching by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and seascapes. The print, created between 1887 and 1889, portrays a group of fishermen walking along a beach with their horse-drawn cart, silhouetted against a pale sky. The simple composition and minimalist style, characteristic of realism, captures the daily life of the working class in a dramatic yet understated manner. The artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum.
