Zeilschepen aan een strand 1824 - 1879

"Zeilschepen aan een strand" (Sailing Ships on a Beach) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen, created between 1824 and 1879. The artwork depicts two sailing ships, their sails billowing in the wind as they approach a sandy shore. The figures gathered on the beach create a sense of anticipation, while the delicate lines and subtle shading of the lithograph capture the dynamism of the scene. The work is a fine example of Rochussen's mastery of maritime subjects and the romantic realism that characterized his oeuvre. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
