"Zeilschepen in het Open Havenfront te Amsterdam, gezien vanaf de Oosterdokskade" is a black and white photograph created by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner between 1886 and 1910. The photograph depicts a harbor scene in Amsterdam, showing a line of sailing ships docked along the Oosterdokskade. The image captures the quiet stillness of the harbor, with the ships and their reflections appearing almost ethereal. Breitner's keen eye for detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the ships' masts, sails, and rigging, making this a powerful and atmospheric depiction of Amsterdam's maritime heritage. The photograph is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
