"Zeegezicht" (Seascape), a 1708-1781 watercolor by Pieter Idserts, depicts a serene seascape. The artist, known for his maritime scenes, captures the calm of the sea, punctuated by gentle waves and a few distant ships sailing on the horizon. The soft, gray tones and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility. This seascape exemplifies Idserts' talent for depicting the beauty and drama of the Dutch maritime world.
