"Zeegezicht" (Seascape) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Idserts, created between 1708 and 1781. The work depicts a seascape with multiple ships sailing on a choppy sea, with a distant coastline and birds flying overhead. Idserts, known for his seascapes and landscapes, masterfully captures the movement of the sea and the light conditions, creating a sense of realism and tranquility. This small-scale drawing exemplifies Idserts' ability to depict the natural world with detail and sensitivity. The artwork, measuring only 123mm in height and 190mm in width, offers a glimpse into the artist's masterful hand and his fascination with the Dutch maritime landscape.
