Havengezicht met inscheping van H. Paula Possibly 1775 - 1779

"Havengezicht met inscheping van H. Paula" is a print by Richard Earlom, created between 1775 and 1779. The print depicts a harbor scene with a large ship and several smaller boats in the foreground. There are people gathered on the shore, seemingly preparing to board the ship. The composition is dominated by the majestic ship in the background, with a strong sense of depth created by the receding lines of the water and the buildings. Earlom was renowned for his mastery of mezzotint, a technique used to create soft, velvety tones. The artwork is a fine example of Earlom's meticulous craftsmanship and his ability to capture the drama and grandeur of a harbor scene. It is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
