Strand met figuren, rieten strandstoelen en ezels 1892 - 1913

Bramine Hubrecht sketched "Strand met figuren, rieten strandstoelen en ezels" with pencil, it seems, on paper. It’s like a memory, isn’t it? The kind of drawing where you're not trying to capture every detail, but more the essence of a place, the feeling of being there. I think of Hubrecht sitting on that beach, just letting her eye and hand wander across the page, picking out shapes and forms. There's a lightness to the touch, a real sense of air and space. I see how she uses these delicate lines to suggest the figures, the beach chairs, the donkeys—but without ever quite defining them. It’s more about suggestion, about the possibility of form. That scribbled, almost chaotic mark-making over on the right suggests a mass of foliage, but it also feels like a purely abstract gesture. It reminds me a little of Twombly, and his ability to evoke a sense of place through pure, unadulterated mark-making. But maybe that's just me!
