Landschap, mogelijk een kustgezicht c. 1920

"Landschap, mogelijk een kustgezicht," a pencil sketch by Johan Antonie de Jonge, c. 1920, captures a fleeting glimpse of a landscape, possibly a coastal scene. De Jonge, known for his expressive landscapes and seascapes, uses loose, gestural lines to evoke the feeling of a breezy day. The light, airy strokes suggest movement and the blurred horizon hints at distance and the vastness of nature. This preliminary sketch embodies De Jonge's signature style, characterized by an emphasis on capturing the essence of a scene rather than meticulous detail.
