Oorlogschip en drie zeilschepen op volle zee 1767 - 1780

This 18th-century etching by Bernhard Schreuder, titled "Oorlogschip en drie zeilschepen op volle zee" depicts four ships at sea. The prominent warship, rendered in detail, is a testament to the maritime power of the Dutch Republic. The smaller vessels, perhaps merchant ships, highlight the bustling maritime activity of the era. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the dynamic scene of sailing ships on the open ocean.
