Zeilboot op het water 1890 - 1946

"Zeilboot op het water" (Sailboat on the Water) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, created between 1890 and 1946. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple yet evocative scene. Delicate lines capture the outline of trees along a shoreline, their foliage rendered with careful detail, while a sailboat, barely visible, glides across the water. Vreedenburgh's minimalist style focuses on the essence of the subject, highlighting the calm beauty of a natural landscape. The artwork showcases the artist's keen observation of nature, capturing its subtle rhythms with a touch of poetic sensitivity.
