This is a drawing titled “Twee zeilschepen in het water bij een dorp” by Jacques Van Gingelen, a Belgian artist born in 1801. The artwork depicts two sailing ships in a harbor near a village. The scene, captured in meticulous detail, emphasizes the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the waterfront, with the ships at rest and a few figures visible in the foreground. The composition, characterized by a simple, yet balanced arrangement of elements, is typical of the 19th-century Romantic period.
