Twee afgemeerde schepen op een strand 1929

"Twee afgemeerde schepen op een strand" (Two moored ships on a beach) is a 1929 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork portrays a serene seascape with two boats beached on a sandy shore, a towering rock formation, and a distant horizon dotted with clouds. Schelfhout's meticulous detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of tranquility and solitude, characteristic of his work. The composition evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the vastness of nature.
