Huizen op het duin bij Scheveningen c. 1873

"Huizen op het duin bij Scheveningen" (Houses on the Dunes near Scheveningen) is a pencil drawing by Johannes Bosboom, a prominent Dutch artist known for his picturesque landscapes. This 1873 work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a Dutch coastal scene. It depicts a cluster of buildings nestled against a dune, with the artist's signature loose and expressive brushstrokes adding a sense of atmospheric depth and movement to the composition. The drawing's simplicity and understated beauty make it a powerful representation of the serene landscapes of the Netherlands.
