Zeilschepen voor anker bij een oever 1797 - 1838

This watercolor drawing titled "Zeilschepen voor anker bij een oever" by Johannes Christiaan Schotel depicts a tranquil scene of sailing ships at anchor along a shoreline. The delicate brushstrokes and muted colors of the artwork create a sense of calm and serenity. Schotel's work, dating from 1797-1838, showcases his keen observation of maritime life and landscape. This artwork is a valuable example of Dutch marine painting, a genre popularized by artists like Willem van de Velde the Younger, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
