Arrival of the boats, Jacob Maris
Waiting for the fishing was a daily event on the beach of Scheveningen. The whole village, young and old, ran out to guide the boats, to pull the horse onto the beach and to buy the fish quickly. Maris chose the format and the composition in such a way that we are involved in the performance: we are, as it were, at the back of the queue.
