Zeilend vissersschip 1843 - 1911

"Zeilend vissersschip" (Sailing Fishing Vessel) is a watercolor on paper by Johannes Huygens, created between 1843 and 1911. The small-scale drawing depicts a fishing vessel with its sails billowing in the wind as it navigates choppy waters. The artist, known for his marine subjects, captures the movement of the sea and the ship with subtle washes of gray and white. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of Dutch fishermen during the 19th century.
