Scheveningen 1741 - 1820

Abraham Delfos's "Scheveningen" (1741-1820) is a detailed black and white drawing of the Dutch coastal town of Scheveningen. The artwork depicts the town, including its distinctive church with a tall spire, and surrounding dunes, with a bustling scene of figures and carriages in the foreground. The panoramic view extends to the sea in the distance, featuring several ships. This piece is housed at the Rijksmuseum and captures the essence of the seaside town, capturing both the architecture and the human activity typical of the era.
