Schip in een haven 1880 - 1882

"Schip in een haven" (Ship in a Harbor) is a quick sketch by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1880 and 1882. The drawing, executed in pencil, is characterized by its minimal detail and loose, gestural lines. Breitner captures the essence of a ship docked in a harbor, emphasizing the structure of the vessel with a few precise strokes. The work offers a glimpse into Breitner's artistic process and his ability to convey a sense of place through his quick sketches. "Schip in een haven" currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
