Gezicht op een zeilboot te water before 1902

"Gezicht op een zeilboot te water" (View of a sailboat in the water) is a black and white photograph by W. Schmidt, dating back to before 1902. The small, rectangular photograph, measuring 105 mm in height and 77 mm in width, depicts a sailboat on a calm body of water. The mast of the boat rises up and over the water, while a small building is visible in the background. This photograph is likely a snapshot of a real scene captured by Schmidt, showcasing the beauty of a still, peaceful scene in the Netherlands during the early 20th century. The photographer, W. Schmidt, is largely unknown, but this photograph reveals a skillful eye for capturing a simple moment of nature, making it a valuable artifact for those interested in the art of photography.
