Boot op het water 1890 - 1946

"Boot op het water" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh, created sometime between 1890 and 1946. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a simple yet evocative scene of a boat on the water. The light, gestural lines suggest a quick study, perhaps made during a plein air session. Vreedenburgh’s skill as a draftsman is evident in the subtle shading and the confident rendering of the boat’s form. This piece demonstrates the artist's focus on capturing the essence of a fleeting moment, offering a glimpse into his working process and artistic vision.
