Figuren bij een bomschuit op het strand van Scheveningen c. 1873

This quick sketch by Johannes Bosboom, created around 1873, captures a fleeting moment at the beach of Scheveningen. The artist, known for his detailed landscapes and cityscapes, uses a loose, gestural style to depict figures standing on the beach, seemingly interacting with a beached boat. The minimal details and washes of ink create a sense of immediacy and atmosphere, capturing the essence of the scene with a few strokes. The drawing serves as a study for a larger work, offering a glimpse into Bosboom's creative process. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
