Fischer am Strand von Scheveningen 1851

"Fischer am Strand von Scheveningen" (Fishermen on the Beach at Scheveningen) is a pencil drawing by Friedrich Karl Hausmann, created in 1851. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a scene of fishermen on the beach at Scheveningen, a popular seaside resort in the Netherlands. The drawing's loose and gestural style, with its emphasis on capturing the movement and atmosphere of the scene, is characteristic of Hausmann's early work. The artist's keen observation of the figures and the dramatic, yet subtle, composition of the scene offer a glimpse into the daily life of fishermen at the time, as well as the beauty and power of the natural world.
