Kalfatring af tre skibe 1623 - 1664

"Kalfatring af tre skibe" (Caulking Three Ships) is an etching by Dutch artist Reinier Nooms, also known as Zeeman, created between 1623 and 1664, just before his death. The work depicts a scene of ship repair, with three vessels grounded and being caulked by a group of workers. The scene is characterized by its meticulous detail and realistic depiction of the ships and their surroundings. The etching is now held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, and is a fine example of Nooms' mastery of marine art, illustrating his lifelong interest in maritime life and activities.
