Stoomschip aan een kade gezien vanaf een terras c. 1936

"Stoomschip aan een kade gezien vanaf een terras" (c. 1936) is a pen and ink sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, a Dutch artist known for his urban landscapes and scenes of daily life. This work captures a fleeting moment of a steamship docked at a pier, seen from a terrace. Vreedenburgh's use of lines and hatching create a sense of movement and depth, as if we are looking through a window onto the bustling scene. The sketch is characterized by a quick and expressive style, typical of Vreedenburgh's approach to capturing the atmosphere of the Dutch cityscape. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
