Figuren op het dek van een schip c. 1936

"Figuren op het dek van een schip" is a c. 1936 graphite drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis Vreedenburgh. The artwork depicts a scene on the deck of a ship, with figures standing near the railing. The drawing is characterized by Vreedenburgh's signature loose and gestural style, creating a sense of movement and atmosphere. The work is currently held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The sketchy, impressionistic style of the artwork suggests a fleeting moment captured in time, with the figures and their surroundings rendered in a minimal, yet expressive manner. The artwork is a testament to Vreedenburgh's ability to capture the essence of a scene with just a few lines and strokes, showcasing his expertise in drawing and his fascination with maritime subjects.
