Vier boten c. 1828 - 1897

"Vier boten" is a watercolor by Adrianus Eversen, created sometime between 1828 and 1897. The artwork depicts a simple scene of four boats on a body of water, likely a river or canal, showing the artist's adeptness at capturing the natural world. Eversen’s focus on boats in this sketch allows for a close look at their details, their construction and movement, and their relationship to the water. This is likely a quick study, perhaps done in preparation for a larger work.
