Zeilboot bij een havenaanlegplaats 1890 - 1946

"Zeilboot bij een havenaanlegplaats" (Sailing Boat at a Harbor Anchorage), a pencil drawing by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, captures a quick sketch of a sailboat docked at a harbor. The simplified lines and shading emphasize the structure of the boat and the surrounding buildings, leaving the background mostly blank. Created between 1890 and 1946, the work is a study of form and perspective, showcasing Vreedenburgh's ability to translate a complex scene into a minimal and impactful composition. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects Vreedenburgh's interest in capturing everyday scenes with a keen eye for detail and a preference for simple yet expressive lines.
