Figuren op een kade c. 1935 - 1936

"Figuren op een kade" (Figures on a Quay) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, created between 1935 and 1936. The artwork is a preliminary study for a larger work, featuring simple lines that suggest figures gathered on a dock. The gestural style of the drawing reveals Vreedenburgh's interest in capturing the essence of movement and form. This preliminary study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his keen observation of everyday life.
