Zeilschepen op open water en zeilschepen bij een kustlijn met huizen 1834 - 1906

This pencil sketch by Maria Vos, created between 1834 and 1906, depicts three separate scenes of sailing ships. The top scene shows a ship sailing in the distance near a rocky coastline, while the middle scene features a group of ships near a shoreline with houses. The bottom scene is a close-up of a single sailing ship. The loose, gestural lines of the sketch create a sense of movement and atmosphere. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The sketch provides insight into Vos's artistic process and her interest in maritime subjects.
