Figuren op het strand 1881 - 1927

Johan Antonie de Jonge's "Figuren op het strand" (1881-1927) depicts a group of women enjoying a day at the beach. The pastel drawing, created in a loose, expressive style, captures the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside setting. The figures are partially obscured, adding a sense of mystery and intimacy to the scene. De Jonge, known for his Impressionistic and plein air paintings, often used a similar technique to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life. The work offers a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits of the Dutch upper class during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
