Schelpenvisser met paard en wagen op het strand 1883 - 1922

This pencil sketch by Johanna van de Kamer, created between 1883 and 1922, depicts a scene of a horse-drawn cart on a beach. The artist, known for her realistic and detailed depictions of Dutch life, captures a moment of simple rural labor. The loose lines and minimal detail suggest a quick sketch, perhaps made on location, highlighting the artist's keen observation. The composition focuses on the cart and the figure of the fisherman, emphasizing the human connection to nature and the daily struggle of life by the sea. The subject of this sketch is a common theme in Dutch art, reflecting the country's strong maritime tradition and the importance of fishing to its economy.
