Twee jongens spelen op het strand van Noordwijk in de zee 1945 - 1948

This black and white photograph, titled "Twee jongens spelen op het strand van Noordwijk in de zee", was taken by the Dutch photographic agency Anefo between 1945 and 1948. The photograph depicts two young boys playing in the shallow waters of the North Sea near Noordwijk. The image captures a carefree moment of childhood, highlighting the simple joys of summer and playing in the water. The presence of wooden posts in the background suggests that this was a time when the Netherlands was still recovering from the devastation of World War II. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of the resilience of life and the beauty of everyday moments, even in the face of hardship.
