Strandgezicht met anker en witte duif 1841

"Strandgezicht met anker en witte duif" (Seascape with Anchor and White Dove) is a lithograph created in 1841 by the French artist Paul Gavarni. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a seascape viewed through an arched window. A large anchor lies on a sandy beach, with a white dove flying above it against a cloudy sky. The scene evokes a sense of hope and resilience, perhaps symbolizing the end of a journey or the promise of new beginnings. This lithograph, typical of Gavarni's style, showcases his skill in rendering detailed scenes with subtle nuances of light and shadow.
