Zittende figuren op het strand 1907 - 1908

"Zittende figuren op het strand" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, dated 1907-1908. The sketch depicts a group of figures sitting on a beach, some under umbrellas, with a flagpole and a faint landscape in the background. Rip's loose, gestural lines convey the relaxed atmosphere of the scene, capturing the essence of a leisurely beach day. The sketch demonstrates Rip's skill in capturing the movement and energy of his subjects. This work is a fine example of Rip’s use of quick sketches to capture fleeting moments of daily life.
