Figuren in de branding 1881 - 1927

"Figuren in de branding" (Figures in the surf) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Johan Antonie de Jonge. Created between 1881 and 1927, the drawing depicts a seaside scene with figures partially obscured by the waves. De Jonge's use of loose lines and shading creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the fleeting nature of the subject. The sketch exemplifies the artist's interest in capturing the atmosphere and light of the Dutch coast, a recurring theme in his work.
