Shipbuilders 1886

"Shipbuilders" (1886) by Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) is a realistic depiction of three young boys, likely siblings, building a model boat on a sandy shore. The scene evokes a sense of childhood innocence and camaraderie. The artist's use of light and shadow highlights the figures and the natural elements of the setting. This detail-oriented piece captures the joy and simplicity of childhood activities, typical of the "Realism" art movement.
