Ossen die een blok steen voortslepen op een strand 1841 - 1857

"Ossen die een blok steen voortslepen op een strand" (Oxen hauling a block of stone on a beach), a pencil drawing by Johan Daniël Koelman, depicts a group of oxen pulling a large stone along a beach. The drawing is characteristic of Koelman's style, which is characterized by quick, gestural lines. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the oxen, their muscles straining as they pull the heavy stone. The scene is likely set on the Dutch coast. This drawing, created between 1841 and 1857, is a testament to Koelman's skill as a draftsman.
