Schip op het strand 1870 - 1931

"Schip op het strand" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Willem Bastiaan Tholen, created between 1870 and 1931. The drawing depicts a ship beached on a sandy shore, with a group of figures gathered nearby. The composition is simple and direct, capturing a moment of daily life in a coastal village. Tholen's use of charcoal creates a sense of atmosphere and movement, conveying the gentle waves lapping against the shore and the figures' quiet activity. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
