Twee mannen op een zeilboot 1797 - 1838

"Twee mannen op een zeilboot" is a pencil drawing by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, a Dutch artist known for his maritime scenes. The drawing, created between 1797 and 1838, captures a simple, yet evocative, image of a sailboat, its sails partially furled, with two figures visible on the deck. The delicate lines of the drawing suggest a sense of calm and tranquility, characteristic of Schotel's work, and it now resides in the Rijksmuseum. The piece is a testament to Schotel's skill in capturing the essence of life at sea and his fascination with maritime themes.
