Haven met sleepboten 1947

"Haven met sleepboten" (Harbor with Sleep Boats) is a 1947 ink and watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Jan de Gruijter (1917–1951). The work depicts a stylized harbor scene with multiple boats, a sun, and fish swimming in the water. The simple line work and minimal color create a whimsical and dreamlike atmosphere, typical of de Gruijter's artistic style. The small size of the work, 425 mm x 461 mm, emphasizes the intimate and personal nature of the subject. The artist was known for his focus on surrealist themes in his art and his preference for drawing as a primary medium.
