Zeilboot 1907

"Zeilboot" is a pencil sketch created in 1907 by Dutch artist Willem Cornelis Rip, known for his maritime scenes. The minimalist composition depicts a sailboat with its mast reaching towards the sky, while the sails are merely suggested by lines, conveying a sense of movement. The background features a few light strokes, indicating clouds and the water, creating a serene and airy atmosphere. This small yet evocative work exemplifies Rip's talent for capturing the essence of a maritime scene through simple, expressive strokes.
