Aangemeerde boot, op de kade een man 1919

"Aangemeerde boot, op de kade een man" (Moored boat, a man on the quay) is a 1919 pencil drawing by Dutch artist Willem Bastiaan Tholen. The artwork depicts a simple scene of a sailboat moored at a quay, with a man standing nearby. The drawing is characterized by Tholen’s signature loose and expressive style, conveying a sense of movement and atmosphere with minimal detail. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Tholen's ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a fleeting yet poignant moment.
