Strandgezicht met spelende kinderen aan de vloedlijn c. 1850 - 1950

This pencil sketch by the Monogrammist DS, likely created between 1850 and 1950, depicts a scene of children playing on a beach. The artist, born in 1873, captures the movement of the children with loose, gestural lines. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the sea, with a sailboat visible in the distance, creating a sense of space and freedom. The simplicity of the drawing allows the viewer to focus on the joyful energy of the children and the tranquility of the seaside environment.
