Zeegezicht met zeilboten en een stoomboot 1888 - 1927

Anton Dirckx's "Zeegezicht met zeilboten en een stoomboot" (Seascape with sailboats and a steamboat) is a quick sketch of sailboats and a steamboat in the distance on a calm sea. The artist uses simple lines to depict the boats and clouds, creating a sense of movement and lightness. Dirckx was known for his seascapes, and this sketch exemplifies his ability to capture the beauty and serenity of the sea. The piece was created between 1888 and 1927, a period when Dirckx was actively exploring the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist styles. This sketch reflects the influence of these movements in its loose brushstrokes and emphasis on light and color.
