Twee vissers aan het strand, de een repareert een zeil 1840

"Twee vissers aan het strand, de een repareert een zeil" is an etching by Egidius Linnig, dated 1840. This small-scale artwork, measuring 86 mm in height and 123 mm in width, depicts two fishermen on the beach, one mending a sail while the other sits nearby. The scene is set against the backdrop of a calm sea with a distant sailing boat, and the etching utilizes subtle lines and shading to capture the light and atmosphere of the moment. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork offers a glimpse into the daily life of fishermen in 19th-century Netherlands.
