Boot aan kade bij avond 1885 - 1931

Frederika Henriëtte Broeksmit's "Boot aan kade bij avond" (Boat at the Quay at Evening) is a dark and atmospheric etching depicting a boat moored at a quay. The artist utilizes a limited palette of grays and blacks, capturing the muted light of the setting sun. The boat's outline is barely visible against the backdrop of the water and the quay, with the light from the boat's lanterns casting a subtle glow. This etching reflects Broeksmit's interest in capturing the subtle beauty of everyday scenes, often with a focus on light and shadow. The artwork, created between 1885 and 1931, is a testament to Broeksmit's mastery of etching and her ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and mystery.
