Lot Essay

In the summer of 1873 Bosboom stayed with friends in Scheveningen, where he was inspired by the atmosphere. This resulted in a completely new subject matter: figures on the beach and fishermen unloading the catch from their boats.
The present lot may be compared to a drawing sold in these Rooms, 2 September 1998, lot 295, and to a drawing in Museum Fraeylemaborch, Slochteren, C. Dinkelaar, D. Kaatman, Johannes Bosboom (1817-1891) schilder van licht, schaduw en kleur, Laren, 1999, pp. 275-6, cat. nos. MA14-1 and MA23-1
