"Lezende en zittende mensen op het strand" (Reading and Sitting People on the Beach) is a photograph by Dutch photographer Willem de Jong. The image shows a group of people relaxing on a beach, captured sometime between 1895 and 1920. Several figures are seated in wicker beach chairs, reading or simply enjoying the sun. The snapshot offers a glimpse into Dutch leisure activities at the turn of the 20th century.
