Zeilschip 1880 - 1882

"Zeilschip" (Sailing Ship), a pencil sketch created by George Hendrik Breitner between 1880 and 1882, is a simple yet evocative depiction of a ship at sea. The work is characteristic of Breitner's early style, which often focused on capturing fleeting moments and details of everyday life. This drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases his keen observation and ability to convey a sense of movement and atmosphere through minimal lines.
