Gezicht over het water op Dokkum 1624 - 1690

"Gezicht over het water op Dokkum" (View of the Water at Dokkum) is a pen and wash drawing by the Dutch artist Bonaventura Peeters I, created between 1624 and 1690. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a seascape with a view of the city of Dokkum, featuring a large ship sailing towards the viewer with a smaller vessel in tow. Peeters' detailed depiction of the ships and the choppy water captures the dynamism of the sea, highlighting his skill in marine art. The drawing, a testament to the maritime tradition of the Netherlands, offers a glimpse into the bustling port city of Dokkum during the Dutch Golden Age.
