Figuren op het strand 1848 - 1888

"Figuren op het strand" is a small-scale pencil drawing by Anton Mauve, a Dutch painter known for his depictions of landscapes and rural life. The artwork shows a group of figures standing on a beach, possibly near a fence, under a pale sky. The figures are depicted with minimal detail, highlighting the atmospheric mood and the quiet solitude of the scene. This sketch, created between 1848 and 1888, exemplifies Mauve's use of delicate lines and subtle shading. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned Dutch art museum.
