Vissersboten op het strand 1848 - 1888

"Vissersboten op het strand" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Anton Mauve, created between 1848 and 1888. The drawing depicts two fishing boats beached on a sandy shore, with horses pulling them up the beach. Mauve was known for his depictions of rural life, and this drawing is a characteristic example of his work. The sketchy lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and the figures of the horses and boatmen are rendered in a loose but expressive style. The drawing is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
