Jongen op de Antwerpse kades 1874

This 1874 pencil sketch by George Clausen, titled "On the Quays at Antwerp," depicts a young boy. The figure, captured in a loose, gestural style, stands in a relaxed pose, suggesting a moment of observation or contemplation. Clausen's use of minimal detail and quick lines creates a sense of spontaneity, characteristic of his drawing style. The work captures the essence of everyday life on the bustling quays of Antwerp, a place that often served as inspiration for the artist's work.
