Voorsteven van een schip op het water c. 1935 - 1936

"Voorsteven van een schip op het water" is a pencil sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, created between 1935 and 1936. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a ship's bow cutting through the water. Vreedenburgh's loose and gestural lines capture the dynamic movement of the vessel, with a focus on the ship's form and the rippling water. The sketch offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, revealing his ability to capture the essence of a scene with a few well-placed strokes. This work is a valuable example of Vreedenburgh's artistic style and his interest in maritime subjects.
