This etching by Louis Bernard Coclers, titled “Twee matrozen wachten in de haven” (Two Sailors Waiting in the Harbor), depicts two sailors standing on a pier, looking out towards a harbor. The detailed etching highlights the men's clothing and postures, capturing the quiet anticipation of their wait. Coclers was a Dutch artist known for his etchings, and this work is a fine example of his ability to capture the details of daily life and evoke a sense of atmosphere through line and shading.
