Zeilschip en sloep op een stormachtige zee c. 1825 - 1875

"Zeilschip en sloep op een stormachtige zee" is a pencil drawing by Petrus Johannes Schotel, a Dutch painter known for his maritime scenes. Created sometime between 1825 and 1875, the artwork depicts a small boat with a crew of sailors braving a stormy sea, while a larger sailing ship in the distance is caught in the tempest. The rough strokes and light shading lend an immediacy to the scene, highlighting the intensity of the storm and the precarious situation of the sailors. This drawing is a testament to Schotel’s mastery of capturing dramatic moments at sea.
