Strand bij Scheveningen 1899 - 1920

"Strand bij Scheveningen" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jan Mankes, created between 1899 and 1920. The artwork depicts a beach scene at Scheveningen, a coastal resort town in the Netherlands. Mankes is known for his precise and detailed style, evident in the delicate lines used to portray the beach, dunes, and distant figures. The drawing's muted tones and minimalist composition evoke a sense of tranquility and the vastness of the natural world. Mankes's premature death at the age of 30 left a significant impact on the Dutch art scene, and his works continue to be admired for their realism and emotional depth.
