Simon Maris (The Hague 1873 - Amsterdam 1935) Donkeys on the beach

Simon Maris (The Hague 1873 - Amsterdam 1935) Donkeys on the beach, Scheveningen Signed lower right Oil on canvas, 41 x 66 cm Note: Depicted is perhaps the most desirable subject of Impressionist Dutch painting: donkeys on the beach during a pleasant summer's day. Just as Maris, Isaac Israels (1865-1934) tenderly depicted children, amused and a bit nervous, on the back of donkeys. One of his paintings is an absolute highlight in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. In the work present, Maris painted the donkeys waiting for their next ride, the merry young rider approaching from afar. His excellent Impressionist brushwork makes the spectator long for a summer holiday at Scheveningen beach.
