"Twee kinderen aan zee" (circa 1920) is a sketch by Dutch artist Johan Antonie de Jonge (1864-1927). The artist depicts two children upside down, possibly playing a game or hanging from a tree. De Jonge was a prolific draftsman known for his spontaneous and expressive sketches, often capturing everyday moments with a touch of whimsy. This artwork is a testament to his skill in capturing the dynamic energy of children at play. The sketch is executed in a loose and gestural style, utilizing lines and washes to depict the figures and their surroundings.
