Zeilboot bij een steiger c. 1803 - 1818

This pencil sketch, *Zeilboot bij een steiger* (Sailing Boat at a Pier) was created by Dutch artist Arnoldus Johannes Eymer around 1803-1818. The drawing captures a simple scene of a boat at anchor with a pier and some foliage in the background. Eymer, known for his landscapes and marine scenes, utilizes a loose and gestural style in this quick sketch. The focus on the boat with its prominent mast and flag, along with the simple but evocative lines of the pier, suggests the artist’s interest in capturing the essence of a moment in nature. This sketch is a valuable glimpse into the early work of Eymer and his artistic process.
