Schip dat voor anker gaat 1747 - 1813

"Schip dat voor anker gaat" (Ship Anchoring) is a pen and ink drawing by Pierre Ozanne, a noted French marine artist. This small drawing, measuring only 113 mm by 117 mm, depicts a Bermudian sloop, a type of sailing vessel common in the 18th century. Ozanne's meticulous detail and careful depiction of the ship's rigging, sails, and hull demonstrate the artist's keen eye for maritime subjects, and his skill in capturing the movement and rhythm of a ship at anchor. The drawing likely formed part of a larger series of Ozanne's maritime works, showcasing the diversity of vessels and sailing practices of his time.
